James Franco is Twilight’s Newest Fan

Esquire has a new multimedia feature profiling James Franco, and there are two highlights: when he admits to his actor brother Dave that he’s never watched a single thing Dave has appeared in, and when he tells his Esquire interviewer that he’s currently reading Twilight (“for a project,” he clarifies). “It’s crazy how much sexual tension there is,” he says. “It just builds and builds. I mean it never stops. It’s sort of explosive by the end. Crazy. Like they’ll blow up with it. And of course, they don’t. Which is the point too, I guess.” [ Esquire ]

Anton Yelchin Cast In New Spider-Man Reboot?

Man, if we could only harness the energy of Marvel movie casting rumors , we wouldn’t need offshore drilling. ONTD is reporting that Peter Parker also-ran Anton Yelchin impressed the Spidey powers-that-be enough that he’s been cast as Peter’s best friend and sometime nemesis Harry Osborne.

ONTD’ s only source on this, though, is IMDB, so take this news with as much salt as your physician will allow. [ ONTD ]
