Yes, you read that right. And for those of you who've read any Faulkner at all, you are probably joining me in thinking "HOW!?!?"
Evidently James Franco
stopped making movies for pot smokers somehow became a serious actor (can someone please tell me when that happened?), and he's going to tackle the project. I'm not sure how Faulkner's multi-narrator, stream-of-consciousness style is going to translate onto the screen, but I admit I'll be curious to see it.

What do you think? Ambitious film making or potential disaster?

Though I haven't yet seen 127 Hours, I am impressed with his dramatic performance in an episode of 30 Rock. He truly displayed some deep, moving acting abilities in that role, so no doubt he will be able to pull of the screen adpatation of this novel that I have not read. That's my informed opinion :)
