"When watching The Room, it's difficult not to question what the making of the movie must have been like. Last year, actor Greg Sestero – who starred in the film – offered some answers by co-writing a book with journalist Tim Bissell, detailing his experiences on the set of The Room and the strange antics of Wiseau: the writer, director, producer and star of the movie.

According to a report in Deadline, "The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside The Room" has now been optioned for the screen by James Franco, who intends to co-produce and direct an adaptation of it through his own studio, Rabbit Bandini Productions, and Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's Point Grey Productions.

Ryan Moody is writing the script for the adaptation, and according to an Instagram post by Franco, it will star both himself and his brother, Dave Franco (Now You See Me). Sestero's book has so many bizarre anecdotes that there's definitely plenty of potential for a comedy along the lines of Tim Burton's 1994 film Ed Wood, which told the story of how classic terrible movies like Plan 9 From Outer Space got made."
