But I see him come up with stuff a lot on set, improv a lot. Generally we don't do a lot of rehearsal time, I kind of prefer not to. I believe he was on set for five or six days. For a film like this it probably seems like he was crazy involved and it was this big, long shoot. How much did Franco throw himself into his role as the porn producer? Presumably he didn't have much time, juggling all his other projects. Ultimately he agreed to let us make it, and he's since spoken out against it a little bit, but he hasn't seen it yet, so… I think he was a little bit weirded out, of course like can you imagine if someone said out of the blue they wanted to make a movie - and at that point Franco and Slater were already attached - so to come to him with that, I would imagine it's pretty bizarre. Ultimately he agreed to let us use his name and likeness in the story, but he didn't want to contribute to it, because he's actually writing a memoir. We did reach out and let him read the script to see if he wanted to help with it. The film is about the real-life teen porn star Brent Corrigan.
