James Franco has a new interview with the Upcoming about his new movie ‘Spring Breakers’, which just premiered at TIFF and the Venice International Film festival. Franco talks about a variety of different topics in the interview, but when he’s asked about working with Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens, he says, “It’s been great. Like I said, I was a part of this project before there was even a script. When Harmony told me how he wanted to cast it, I thought it was perfect because it really gives it that great mix of pop culture and independent film-making. The actresses are not like their characters but I think they understand their characters really well and so they are able to relax and be natural. I’m having a blast working with them. I think they were just so hungry to do a project like this that they are so into it. Harmony will just go into these environments and find the most interesting thing there. He has taken us on some of these adventures, like going into some crazy pool hall and using all the real people, or putting me up on stage in this MTV style beach rap show.”
He also talks about how he’s never really had a proper ‘spring break’ experience, saying, “It’s funny, I’ve been a professional actor for over fifteen years and there were certain things in American culture that I never experienced for real, but I experienced them in movies. I never went to my Prom in high school, but then I did movies where I went to Proms. When I went to college, I left after a year and went to acting school, so I never went to any spring break locations when I was actually in college. I don’t know anything about it other than what I have seen on MTV over the years. This is my first spring break, I guess.”
