Help Wanted: New James Franco Internet Project Offers $1,343.38 to Actor Playing Rock Star

Share

Want to make $1,343.38 this weekend? Do you look like Steven Tyler or Iggy Pop? Are you “edgy and tattooed”? Then call casting director Cynthia Huffman.

Even better– if you’re 50 and funny, a “host type with good comedic timing,” you can make $20,000 and up.

The jobs are on James Franco’s new internet project called “Gigi Boots.” The producer listed is Iris Torres, who’s worked on some other odd Franco projects including “Bukowski” and “Interior. Leather. Bar.”

They also need “a recognizable musician”– to show “fashion meets music.” The pay for that is also $1,343.38.

Hey Justin Bieber, this might be for you! Franco also needs “boxers who can movie around a ring like professional boxers!”
