James Franco’s gay porn drama King Cobra gets UK premiere date
By Will Stroude
James Franco’s critically acclaimed gay porn biopic, King Cobra, will receive it’s European premiere in London this October, according to the Daily Express.
Inspired by true events, the film follows the rise porn star Brent Corrigan (Garrett Clayton) as he’s mentored by adult movie producer Byran Kocis, before a pair of rival producers resort to drastic measures to cash in on his growing success – with deadly consequences.
Buzz surrounding the film rocketed following a trailer being released, and a successful outing at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year.
In July, distributor IFC Films announced it would be distributing the film to American cinemas, but there was still a question mark over whether eager audiences on this side of the Atlantic would get to see it.
But now, lucky festival goers will be able to catch the film – which promises an “insane” sex scene between James Franco and co-star Keegan Allen – in London.
King Cobra will be one of 145 films shown at the 60th BFI London Film Festival in October. For more information visit bfi.org.uk/lff.
