What's The Story behind The Disaster Artist And The Worst Movie Ever? - What's trending now!

"I did not hit her. It's not true. It's bullsh*t. I did not hit her. I did not... Oh, hi Mark." It's the story of the worst movie ever made. Welcome back to What's Trending, I'm Adam Bozarth. James Franco and Seth Rogen's new movie, The Disaster Artist, is a behind the scenes look at the cult classic movie, The Room. Oh, you've never heard of The Room? The Room is widely regarded as one of the worst films ever made. Released in 2003 in a single theater in Los Angeles, the film grew an underground following through word-of-mouth. In 2005, it was released on DVD and streaming services. Well, just how bad is The Room? Well, check out the clip from the original movie that they're staging in the trailer. "I did not hit her. It's not true. It's bullsh*t. I did not hit her. I did not... Oh, hi Mark." That mystery man in the lead role of Johnny is the writer and director Tommy Wiseau. Wiseau is a bit of a mystery man. He's very vague about where he comes from, asserting that he grew up in Louisiana, though one researcher claims he immigrated from Poland in 1985. The Room is Wiseau's first movie and it's 100% his uncompromised artistic vision. "How much is it? It'll be $18. Here you go, keep the change. Hi doggy. You're my favorite customer. Thanks a lot, bye." The room somehow manages to get everything about making a movie wrong, but it's so fun to watch. "I used to know a girl. She had a dozen guys. One of them found out about it. He beat her up so bad, she ended up in a hospital on Guerrero Street." Hahaha what a story, Mark." "Yeah, you can say that again." It's the perfect midnight movie! In fact, when it premiered in New York City for the first time in 2009, the screenings were sold out. I know because I was there. "I'm glad I finally get to see it in the... like a theater atmosphere, so I can see how it was intended to be seen." Yep, that's me trying to sneak in an extra 50 pounds into the theater. Thanks to word-of-mouth, this rough gem of a movie which might never have been seen is now a pop culture phenomena. The making of the movie was chronicled in the book, The Disaster Artist, which the movie is based on. The book was written by producer and co-star Greg Sestro, who plays Mark, Johnny's best friend who sleeps with Johnny's fiance, Lisa. "How could you love him? Ahh!" The book about the movie somehow manages to be even crazier than the movie, itself and it's now going to be brought to life by the Franco Brothers. The Disaster Artist stars James and Dave Franco as Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestro, respectively. Seth Rogen co-stars as Sandy Schklair, the uncredited assistant director of The Room. The film premieres December 8, 2017, but it's already got Oscar buzz surrounding it. Who knew? @JormaTaccone from Lonely Island tweets, "James Franco deserves an Oscar for The Disaster Artist, no joke. Pay attention @TheAcademy!" Erik Davis of Fandango says, "Start the FYC campaign for James Franco now. He's so good in #TheDisasterArtist. And @duckisgod says, "I really hope the disaster artist is an Oscar front runner. That would really be the most full circle thing to ever happen to the room." Well, that's not a circle. That's a slope. Unless Tommy WIseau was a Oscar statue that came to life and wrote his own movie? So, are you a fan of The Room? Are you excited for The Disaster Artist?
