Summary

James and Dave Franco lead an all-star cast to tell the bizarre story of how 'The Room' -- a cult "disasterpiece" often hailed as "the best bad movie ever made" -- came to be. The movie is getting critical acclaim, but are we buying in?

Synopsis:

"With 'The Disaster Artist,' James Franco transforms the tragicomic true-story of aspiring filmmaker and infamous Hollywood outsider Tommy Wiseau—an artist whose passion was as sincere as his methods were questionable—into a celebration of friendship, artistic expression, and dreams pursued against insurmountable odds. Based on Greg Sestero best-selling tell-all about the making of Tommy's cult-classic disasterpiece 'The Room' (“The Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made”), 'The Disaster Artist' is a hilarious and welcome reminder that there is more than one way to become a legend—and no limit to what you can achieve when you have absolutely no idea what you're doing."
