Based on the 2007 novel by Steve Erickson, Zeroville centers on an alienated movie lover who makes his way to Los Angeles in the late ’60s. Hit the jump for Zeroville cast details including character info.
The plot follows Franco’s Ike Jerome (nicknamed “Vikar”), a young and awkward architecture student obsessed with cinema. He heads to Hollywood in 1969, just as the industry is entering a transitional phase. Vikar makes a striking impression on those around him, including several movie icons. Eventually he breaks into the industry himself to become a film editor, entering a dizzying world of sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll. Paul Felton and Ian Olds wrote the script.
Several of Franco’s new castmates have starred opposite him before. In fact, Rogen, McBride, and King all appeared in Franco’s most recently released directorial effort, the literary adaptation The Sound and the Fury. However, Zeroville will be his first time working with Ferrell, Weaver, Fox, and Sanz.
