James Franco at Hopkins this Friday!

James Franco will be at Johns Hopkins University Friday afternoon. The actor/Renaissance man will attend a screening of The Broken Tower, a black-and-white film about writer Hart Crane that he starred in, directed, produced, and edited. He wrote the screenplay while still a student at NYU's Tisch School for the Arts. The film was shown at 2011's Los Angeles Film Festival, and it's expected to have a theatrical release later this year. Friday's screening is scheduled for 2 pm at Shriver Hall and will include a panel discussion with John Irwin, author of Hart Crane’s Poetry, which was recently published by Hopkins Press.
