Tommy Wiseau’s The Room holds a special place in cinematic history much in the same way Florence Foster Jenkins once did for opera.

Just like Florence Foster Jenkins got a pretty good biopic about how her awful singing was celebrated, the story behind The Room, from which the best selling book The Disaster Artist was written by Greg Sestero, is similarly getting a movie of the same name directed by and starring James Franco.

From the looks of the first full trailer, Franco really gets into the whole world of Wiseau, both emphatically and honestly. Also, James’ brother playing Wiseau’s friend adds another fun layer to this whole thing.

The Disaster Artist will play in theaters on December 1st.

Little Hours is a raunchy, unfiltered comedy set in medieval times juxtaposing the sort of comedy that might star Alison Brie, Dave Franco, Aubrey Plaza, Kate Micucci, John C. Reilly, Molly Shannon, and Fred Armisen, but have nun, king, and peasant costumes.

That being the case of writer/director Jeff Baena’s latest work, you can see in the trailer how this could almost be the origin story of the “perilous” Castle Anthrax in Monty Python and The Holy Grail.

Also, we loved that the Catholic League calls it, “Pure trash,” and that pull quote is featured in this trailer.

So, look for Little Hours to hit theaters on June 30th.
