A Dash of Sal Coming Up

James Franco’s going to think this post is about him, but it’s not.

The multi-hyphenate is set to step behind the camera for his next project, a biopic about actor Sal Mineo, and he has cast indie/theater actor Val Lauren as the man b.n.a. James Dean’s troubled sidekick in Rebel Without a Cause.

The movie will be based on a 2001 biography of the slain-in-1976 Mineo, one of Tinseltown’s first openly gay actors.

Make it a good one, J. Fra, and break a leg, Val.
