FRANCO RELIVING CAREER ON SCREEN

Actor JAMES FRANCO has teamed up with multi-media artist CARTER to create a unique movie - in which he re-enacts a collection of scenes from his past films.
The 65-minute art-house film, called Erased James Franco, sees the actor performing scenes from his roles in all three Spider-Man movies, Pineapple Express and the television biopic James Dean, among others.
And Franco - who is currently studying for his master’s degree in creative writing at Columbia University - admits he was delighted to be asked to collaborate with U.S. artist Carter.
He tells USA Today, "I’m not quite sure how he thought of me when he came up with this idea, but he did. There was a year of development. I was happy to do it. It made me think of how we communicate.”
The film - in which Franco also reinterprets Julianne Moore's role in 1995's Safe - will not be released in cinemas but will tour festivals and museums around the world.
