James Franco is expected to direct the Twitter stripper story “Zola Tells All“
James Franco will direct a movie based on the viral story of stripper Aziah “Zola” Wells’ trip to Florida.
The movie is baed on the David Kushner’s Rolling Stone magazine piece: Zola Tells All: The Real Story Behind the Greatest Stripper Saga Ever Tweeted.
Andrew Neel and Mike Roberts will write the script.
But, who is Zola?
Zola caught the attention of Twitter and later Hollywood, after she began her 148-tweet rant about a wild road trip to Florida with her friend Jessica, Jessica’s boyfriend and Jessica’s violent pimp “Z”.
James Franco and Vince JOlivette are producing the movie with their Rabbit Bandini Productions and Killer Films’ Christine Vachon and David Hinojosa and Gigi Films’ Gia Walsh and Kara Baker.
James Franco is no stranger to sitting in the director’s chair. Franco previously directed In Dubious Battle, The Sound and the Fury and the upcoming movie The Disaster Artist.
