James Franco

It may not be as exciting as if he was starring in a film about the porn industry, but James Franco is dabbling in some titillating subject matter for his next project. The multi-hyphenate extraordinaire is working on a documentary that explores behind-the-scenes aspects of pornography. In an interview with Conan O'Brien, Franco said:

“I actually am very interested in pornography. I mean, I watch it, who doesn’t? I guess nobody’s going to raise their hand, but there are a lot of people here who watch pornography. It’s just a fact. So, I’m interested in it. I’m making a documentary about pornography. There’s this amazing facility in San Francisco, it’s at this old armory. They do everything in house, they build their props in house, so I’m making a documentary about that.”

We're not exactly sure what kind of props he's talking about, but you've got to admire the dude's honesty. Let's hope his filmmaking is as refreshing as his candor.

Stephen Walker's documentary about porn, titled "Hardcore," was enlightening and truly disturbing. The dude also went into it thinking it was going to be awesome.

Wow, the Armory. Finally there will be fame for my Princess Donna and her colleagues.

And if you don't know what props he's talking about, you shouldn't be writing for Nerve.

I'm pretty savvy about things like this and I have no idea what props he is talking about either. Can you educate us @DIC?

This guy was the worst actor George Lucas could possibly have chosen to play Anakin Skywalker. He ruined the character for me. When he raced those pod racers in Episode 1, he looked like he was reading lines off a teleprompter. Useless.

Oh the place is Kink.com's headquarters? Sounding good already...wonder if he's just gonna focus on that branch of porn or where he's gonna go with it though. Ha, maybe we'll get an interview between former James Dean and James Deen!
