First question is, has anyone actually seen the movie titled "The Room"??? I remember hearing about it back in the late 90's and never giving it any more thought until seeing the preview for this film. Now, I am utterly intrigued to see it! The Disaster Artist is basically about the making of this movie, the relationships that came to be beforehand, setting things in motion, and the complete disaster the entire project becomes. This, only to end up bringing people together, achieving the dreams that seemed so far out of reach, and creating one of the biggest cult films of all time. Ahhh, what an endless pot of money can do for you! James Franco plays Tommy Wiseau, the writer, director and star of this film. Dave Franco plays his friend Greg Sestero, who is really the one who inspires Tommy to make the movie in the first place. Both want-to-be actors, both terrible, find each other and form an unusual friendship in which Tommy makes everything possible. Watching James Franco play the part of the broken English speaking Tommy is genius! This guy definitely deserves an Oscar nod, as painful as it was to watch. The casting was outstanding, although you dont really get the full capacity of how great it is until the end when they show side by side the actual film next to the recreation. Its outstanding! Definitely watch this, and keep in mind it is a movie that is meant to show you how ridiculous the entire situation was in the first place.
FYI: James Franco stayed in character throughout directing and the entire making of this film.
