Jerome soon becomes a successful film editor and embarks on a Hollywood journey that ends in both tragedy and discovery.
Robert De Niro, Brian De Palma, Ryan O'Neal, John Milius, Margot Kidder, Ali MacGraw, Paul Schrader and the ghost of Montgomery Clift are characters in the book
Franco will produce and may direct, but not star in, the film.
