For people nitpicking this scene, consider 2 things:

1) During the infamous scene, Greg Sestero is supposed to be on it. On this trailer, you can see him next to Rogen's character. This suggest that this version of the scene may not be the final scene we see on the movie.

Greg is in this scene, but he's not in this shot. Greg is in the following shot, when he's sitting in the corner on the chair and Tommy comes over and sits down...but that's a completely different shot that very well could have been filmed on a different day (and probably was, considering the "I did naaht" shot took 3 hours to do).

Unless there are details I'm missing from the book, that's how it plays out to me.

I can't wait to see this, I watch the Room every couple of months.

I just read the book on my last trip on the plane, and man, a hilarious book, but very insightful.

It's completely throwing me off with Dave Franco cast as Greg/Mark. He's so short compared to his brother. I thought they would do camera trickery or whatever to make him seem taller.

I'm still not convinced that this is the final scene that represents the one from the movie. Details about how it was filmed escape me, but there's enough disparity to make me believe this isn't representative of the film's real scene. I will eat croooow [read it as Wiseau's naaah] if it is how the scene is supposed to be represented, but I insist until then that it ain't.

Nah, that's wishful thinking to excuse Franco's flub. I wish you were right but I really don't think you are. The entire point of this sequence is that it took them THREE HOURS to film that one shot. Tommy is a very... unique man and he doesn't do the same take twice. Ever. When he finally got the line right, that's why they celebrated and that's what they used, because he never did it correctly again before or after. If he had then what is in the movie would be a normal read of the line with normal timing and it's legendary precisely because it isn't.

honestly im amazed they have continued to squeeze blood from this stone. the movie itself is really bad but that's about where it ends. TW has made things since then and they have been unwatchable and not at all in the charming way The Room is. The Room itself is a half-way interesting trainwreck that is a convenient content-producing work for an intellectually vapid culture.

imo a lot of it has to do with internet culture, how everyone is a critic, how everyone has to know everything now, how everyone has to out-smart everyone else. The Room is the ultimate "bad movie" product. what it sells is a feeling of superiority. you can prove that you have good taste by pointing to your superiority to this bad movie. plenty of people that have no taste and no idea what art is can pretend to be film critics vicariously. quite similar to people doing dumb "random" shit and calling themselves "performance artists" or "avant garde". people with no culture pretending otherwise.

Seriously, don’t you just hate it when someone puts on an air of superiority in order to appear smarter than everybody else?

My copy of The Disaster Artist book isn't scheduled to arrive until the first week of August >_<

I guess the trailer made the sales of the book skyrocket.

This success of the whole thing hinges on whether they got James Franco to reenact the scene where Tommy Wiseau is on the floor, dry humping a red dress. The way it went down on set as described in the book is nothing short of amazing.

Its James Franco.

His entire plotline on 30 Rock involved being in love with an anime love pillow.

He probably did it.

You should have told him your name was Mark.

 

[FreshCakes]

Lol I wanted to start a convo with him but dude sounded he didn't wanted to talk on the phone for long.

Kept insisting that we better ship his stuff via FedEx and made sure we had the right suite # at FedEx office we were shipping to.

Trailer is out!

Looks even better!

Saw this new trailer attached to "IT"

Frankly I think we need a new thread to celebrate the glory of the full trailer. So good.

*edit* okay guess there is a thread now

Holy shit

This looks amazing. Definition of camp, heartwarming and serious but a complete failure of actual production and moviemaking that makes it lovable. Tommy Wiseau is the a living form of a campy movie.

Same here. I was the only one in the audience who was laughing when it played.

Looks great.

Aside from IT, this was the only other movie I really want to see this year.

 

[DrEvil]

I saw this at TIFF last night, I posted my impressions in here: http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1418220


In short: it was amazing and heartfelt. A true tribute to tommy wiseau and an incredibly well made film. It's really fucking good.
