James Franco hits Sundance tomorrow night, but not in the usual way.
Last year, Franco was here with “Howl,” the opening night film in which he brilliantly played Alan Ginsberg.
This year he’s back with “Three’s Company,” a kind of psychedelic take on the late 70s sitcom that starred John Ritter, Suzanne Somers and Joyce DeWitt.
Franco and pals have kind of reinvented and filmed the first three episodes of ‘Three’s Company.” The resulting video will unveil tomorrow night as part of Sundance’s New Frontiers as the main element of an art installation. There’s a rumor that Richard Kline, who played the main characters’ pal Larry, will attend. A “secret” party is set to follow on Main Street in Park City, up the hill from the former Miners Hospital.
Sadly, the Ropers–the late great Norman Fell and Audra Lindley–are unavailable. But I’m told that partygoers may be asked to don wigs and other paraphernalia to recreate the “Three’s Company” vibe.
