When you think of James Franco, the first thing that comes to mind is his comedic work… or Rise of the Planet of the Apes… or the godawful time he hosted the Oscars… or maybe even his famous “Look at My Sheeit” speech in Spring Breakers. Well, that could be changing with his new film project: Mother, May I Sleep with Danger?
THR is reporting that Franco is set to executive produce a remake of the cult classic for Lifetime. Franco penned the story for the remake, with a script written by Amber Coney (Class). Melanie Aitkenhead (Franco’s upcoming film Actors Anonymous) will direct, and Franco will exec produce with Vince Jolivette (Spring Breakers), Diane Sokolow (The Perfect Husband: The Laci Peterson Story), and Rachel Verno (The Perfect Husband: The Laci Peterson Story). The remake hails from Sony Pictures Television in association with Rabbit Bandini Productions and will air in 2016.
Franco’s collaboration with Lifetime will help mark the original film’s 20th anniversary. The original Mother, May I Sleep with Danger? starred Tori Spelling as a young woman with a dangerous and obsessive boyfriend. The film eventually aired on NBC in September 1996.
