There's probably a few people who've come here hoping to hear about James Franco's impending career in porn. Which is sort of understandable, but at the same time, quite, quite wrong. For, you see this story is not about James Franco making a porn film, but James Franco making a film about porn. See? Disappointing, isn't it? Forsooth.

Incidentally, porn aside, for anyone who finds James Franco's boundless enthusiasm a bit testing, "Oh my gosh. My names is James and I find everything simply marvelous and fascinating. A flower? How beautiful and pristine and glorious it is! I JUST WANT TO FUCK THE WORLD", this is going to be a genital papercut, irritation-wise.

That's because for his next project James has decided that the pr0n industry is his target. Apparently it's truly fascinating, what with the impressive acting, the inexpensive lube and most importantly the fact they all put his own paltry attempts at peddling grot in the shade, something he may wish to rectify at a later date:

"When I was young, I got a video camera and my girlfriend and I decided to film ourselves and watched it back and said, 'Yeah, well, let's never watch that again.'

"Those people in pornos, they are great performers; they're not just doing it, they're selling it to an audience... They're performing so that an audience can get turned on by that kinda thing.

"My girlfriend and I didn't know that, so it was just kinda like weird movement... It was really boring."

"I actually am very interested in pornography... I watch it, who doesn't? I'm making a documentary on pornography. There's this amazing facility in San Francisco... They do everything in-house, they build their props in-house. It's an incredible place."

As long as the film manages to keep footage of gigantic swinging testicles to a minimum we're sure it'll be a massive success, although anything longer than five minutes does seem like a bit of a waste of time.
