This looks really good. You can watch scenes from the original on youtube and man it is so incredibly bad I like, HAVE to hear the story behind it. lol

Franco looks like he nailed this one.

Can't wait to see this. Caught The Room halfway through one night years ago when I woke up at 3 am and it was randomly playing on Cartoon Network. I felt like it dosed me with acid it was so confusingly awful.

Hearing nothing but great things, but this movie is probably gonna be wayyyyyyy inside baseball for most of the movie-going public.

I mean, just that opening scene in the above is quite possibly the worst ever written, acted, directed, shot and edited.

He's wearing sunglasses, and she sees him,,,, with his black leather jacket and long flowing black hair and his ????? accent..... Her first response when he takes off the Sunglasses is: "Hey Johnny I didn't know it was you!" #ClarkKent

Not to mention, Tommy Wiseau also paid $5K a month to have a billboard promoting his movie that stood on Highland for 5 years. 300K - Ka ching!

this was pretty great, but think it all might be a little too inside baseball for most peeps.

Do you have to watch The Room in order to get it? It's not out in theaters up here, so can't see it, but been dying to watch it.

I would think you’d need at least a solid idea of just how legendarily bad that movie is to really appreciate it.
