James Franco has been cast in the lead role in the Hulu and Warner Bros. adaptation of 11/22/63, a time-traveling novel centered around the Kennedy assassination written by horror master Stephen King. Franco, who has quite the diversified filmography, has had roles ranging from a part in a soap opera (General Hospital), to low-brow comedies (The Interview) to Oscar-nominated performances (127 Hours). He definitely has a juicy part ahead of him in this 9-hour miniseries, which Variety reports is being described as “part thriller, part love story.”

11/22/63: A Novel tells the story of Jake Epping, an English teacher who inherits a time portal from the owner of his local diner, along with a mission to prevent the Kennedy assassination. As with all time travel fiction, traveling to the past causes far-reaching future effects, effects for the better, it is hoped, had Kennedy lived. The caveats are: 1) If you return to the future and go back through the portal again, you go back to the exact same date and time of September 9, 1958, 11:58am; 2) That return undoes all the changes you wrought in the previous time travel; 3) History tries to stop you from changing anything. It throws obstacles in your way; And 4) You can stay in the past for a week or for years, you will age the correct amount but only 2 minutes will pass from the present you left.

Steamy new photos have been released from the upcoming drama I Am Michael of its stars James Franco, Zachary Quinto, and Charlie Carver in a threesome, as well as one of Franco and Quinto kissing.

In this true-life story from director Justin Kelly, which premieres tomorrow at the Sundance Film Festival, Franco (The Interview) is Michael Glatze, a gay activist turned Christian pastor who goes on to denounce homosexuality. Quinto (Star Trek, The Slap) plays Michael’s one-time boyfriend Bennett, while Carver (The Leftovers) is Tyler, a man who was romantically involved with Michael and Bennett. Emma Roberts plays a young Christian woman who Michael falls in love with after his conversion, with Daryl Hannah as the woman who runs a Colorado Buddhist retreat where Michael goes.

Franco posted the photo to his Instagram account of him and Quinto, who is gay in real life, kissing. Check out the two aforementioned photos, as well as other stills from the film, here below.
