The two actors take the leads in the trailer for their latest film, True Story
James Franco has a True Story to tell and he wants to tell it to Jonah Hill. That's the premise of Franco's latest film, based on, ironically, a true story, as he plays one of the FBI's most wanted men, Christian Longo, convicted of murdering his wife and three children.
Jonah Hill plays a journalist desperate to get a story out of James Franco's convicted killer
Hill plays disgraced journalist Michael Finkel, who was fired from the New York Times and whose name has been used by Longo to escape police custody.
Finkel is intrigued and on the hunt for a story having been dismissed from his previous job for fabricating large parts of a piece he wrote about the African slave trade.
