James Franco States He's Adapting Cormac McCarthy's 'Child of God'

At this time, you've most likely virtually quit wondering why James Franco does anything -- be it carrying out a half-assed job of hosting the Academy awards, coming back to 'General Hospital' or shedding from his Broadway debut -- but you need to question about his next project, that they introduced while marketing his documentary about Gus Van Sant. Franco intends to direct the apparently unfilmable tale of the killing necrophiliac, 'Child of God' by 'No Country For Old Men' author Cormac McCarthy. Throughout a Q&A in the Toronto Worldwide Film Festival for his 'Memories of Idaho' doc on Van Sant, Franco stated that his formerly introduced adaptation of McCarthy's 'Blood Meridian' is on hold, but he's moved his focus to a different McCarthy novel, 'Child of God.' The 1973 novel is all about a misfit in rural Tennessee whose unspeakable crimes are allegedly according to an un named historic figure, based on the author. Just in case you skipped it, the Franco-directed aspect of Sal Mineo ('Sal') just first showed in the Venice Film Festival. Younger crowd directed and starred in 'The Damaged Tower,' about American poet Hart Crane. Franco also intends to direct a documentary about Kink.com and the other about his time about the cleaning soap 'General Hospital,' that they keeps coming back to for whatever reason.
