B次元官网网址淭here was a once-a-month screening of B次元官网网址楾he RoomB次元官网网址� in Vancouver, so I went there and it was incredible,B次元官网网址� Franco said before the world premiere of B次元官网网址淭he Disaster ArtistB次元官网网址� at the Toronto International Film Festival on Monday.
B次元官网网址淧eople were throwing spoons, they were throwing footballs, people were wearing tuxes, they had all these lines that they were yelling back at the screen and it was just awesome.
B次元官网网址淚t was actually the first night I met Greg Sestero, the other actor in B次元官网网址楾he Room,B次元官网网址� and we started the conversation about making this movie.B次元官网网址�
B次元官网网址淭he Disaster ArtistB次元官网网址� received a standing ovation when it first screened as a work in progress at the South by Southwest Film Festival in March.
B次元官网网址淭here were a lot of great reviews coming out of South by Southwest and it was really moving,B次元官网网址� said Franco.
B次元官网网址淏ecause even though at the centre of this film is this really bad movie, I put so much of myself into this. When we were making it, I found it very personal. We shot at locations that I had hung out at when I was a struggling actor coming up in L.A., and just their story of trying to make it, I can relate to. IB次元官网网址檓 sure tons of people will relate to it.
B次元官网网址淪o itB次元官网网址檚 a very personal movie to me.B次元官网网址�
