Franco Pops Into Cherry

Never wanting for work James Franco is joining the indie drama Cherry says Variety



Real life porn actress Lorelei Lee and author Stephen Elliott wrote the screenplay from which Elliott will make his directorial debut.

The film follows an 18-year-old girl who moves to San Francisco and enters the adult film industry.

Franco will play a drug-addled lawyer with whom she becomes involved.

Heather Graham and Slumdog Millionaire's Dev Patel co star. Graham revisits Boogie Nights territory as a pornographic actress who tries her hand at directing, only to become obsessed with the young girl.

Patel will play the girl’s best friend and potential love interest, while Lili Taylor is in negotiations to play her alcoholic mother.

One of the many things Franco is working on is bringing scriptwriter Elliott's memoir The Adderall Diaries, to the screen

Cherry is scheduled to start production next month in San Francisco.
