Wadzilla director Adam Rifkin is gearing up for yet another eclectic production, accompanied this time by a star-studded cast that will include the somewhat infamous James Franco alongside a plethora of other household names. Entitled Toad, the upcoming project has been described as "a psychedelic stoner comedy" that will put viewers at the center of a trippy, drug-fueled odyssey to Las Vegas and beyond.

Rifkin's Toad follows the shenanigans of Alex and Sam, two down-on-their-luck stoners who end up in the service of menacing crime lord Charles (Robinson), and are subsequently pressured into transporting a mysterious package from LA to Vegas. When Alex and Sam decide to take a peek inside the box, they discover live, psychedelic "acid" toads which promptly begin to overheat, leaving our hapless protagonist duo no option but to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. As a result, Alex and Sam are dosed with extreme amounts of the toads' psychedelic ooze,...

Stephen King has introduced some incredible antagonists throughout his career, but his human villains are some of the most memorable. Stephen Kings best villains are often connected to the supernatural, but others are just normal people. However, this doesnt mean that they arent capable of being just as deranged and scary as the likes of Pennywise the clown or Randall Flagg.

Many of Stephen Kings books feature a human villain, and the King of Horror is known to write characters that demonstrate that humanity can be just as dangerous as otherworldly figures. From obsessive fans to the rich and power-hungry, Stephen King has written some brilliant human villains.

But instead of wallowing in it, the Spider-Man star now expresses gratitude for that particular unexpected twist.

James Franco Is Over Hollywood and His Cancellation!

After lighting up the big screen in numerous feature films, James Franco largely vanished from the spotlight in 2019 when he faced a lawsuit over alleged misconduct involving women from his acting class. The fallout from this lawsuit, which has since been settled, cost him almost his entire career.

James Franco was one of Hollywood's biggest stars before his career took a major hit at the height of the #MeToo movement. While the experience was undoubtedly unpleasant for the Spider-Man star, Franco now feels "grateful" for the unexpected turn, feeling that he's come out on the other side as a better person.

After starring in several feature films, Franco largely dropped out of the public eye in 2019 when he was sued for alleged misconduct involving women who'd taken his acting class. The publicity surrounding the lawsuit, which has since been settled, likely cost Franco a Best Actor nomination for The Disaster Artist, a role that had already won him a Golden Globe. Franco would later admit in a 2021 interview on Jess Cagle's podcast that he'd been intimate with some of his acting students and that he sought treatment for sex addiction.

James Franco is tucked away in the corner of a five-star hotel lobby on Rome’s Via Veneto, sipping an Americano coffee. Wearing a chocolate brown hoodie he proudly says he co-designed, the actor and filmmaker looks relaxed and flashes his signature smile.

He’s in the Eternal City for the Rome Film Festival launch of Italian director Claudio Giovannesi’s “Hey Joe.” In the gritty drama, Franco plays Dean, an alcoholic American WWII vet who winds up back in Naples in the early ’70s in search of a son he fathered there before absconding to New Jersey.

The film is his first to surface on the fest circuit since his career went on hiatus following a now-settled 2019 lawsuit alleging that he sexually exploited young women who took his acting class. As he sips his coffee, Franco and I agree that his character is looking for redemption. Could the same be said of Franco?...

June Zero is a vividly textured telling of the preparations for the 1962 execution of Adolf Eichmann through a triptych of perspectives––a Jewish Moroccan prison guard, an Israeli police investigator (and Holocaust survivor), and a clever and precocious 13-year-old Libyan immigrant. In advance of the June 28 release from Cohen Media Group, we’re pleased to exclusively reveal a series of influences the director has programmed for NYC’s Quad Cinema.

“Origin Stories: Jake Paltrow’s Notes on June Zero,” which runs June 21-27, features seven films that informed and influenced June Zero, with titles spanning humanist deep-cuts of world cinema from the likes of Miloš Forman and Abbas Kiarostami to underscreened classics of 1970s Israeli cinema.
