The Long Home
Director: James Franco (“The Disaster Artist,” “Broken Tower”)
Cast: James Franco, Josh Hutcherson, Ashton Kutcher, Josh Hartnett
Details: No-one seems sure what the fate of the James Franco-directed indie film “The Long Home” will be in the wake of this month’s sexual misconduct allegations involving the star. It’s a shame as this adaptation of the William Gay novel boasts a stacked cast including Josh Hutcherson, Tim Blake Nelson, Courtney Love, Timothy Hutton, Giancarlo Esposito, Ashton Kutcher, Josh Hartnett, Analeigh Tipton, Scott Haze and Robin Lord Taylor.

Set in rural 1940s Tennessee, a young man (Hutcherson) lands a job building a ‘honky-tonk’ bar for a charismatic, scheming bootlegger – unaware the same man murdered his father a decade earlier. Shot in mid-2015 over just three weeks, the film has been sitting on a shelf for two years. Franco filmed the hazing drama “Goat” around the same time but that film already scored a release in 2016 so this one’s absence was already a concern even before the recent scandal.
