  1. >The Hollywood Reporter caught up with Franco at the Sundance Film Festival, who is on the ground with two films, including the horror Together which co-stars his real-life partner Alison Brie. When asked if anyone has reached out about the comparisons many have made between him and Mangione, Brie responded, “Anyone? Do you mean everyone?” Franco added, “I have never received more texts in my life about anything.”

    >He continued, “Anyone who has my phone number has reached out about it.”

    >Shortly after Mangione was revealed to be the killer, social media quickly identified Franco as the actor who should play him in a would-be movie. While a scripted movie has not yet been announced, several documentary projects about the murder are currently in production, including one from Oscar winner Alex Gibney.

    >“But I don’t think there have been any official offers,” Brie joked, with Franco saying, “No, no official offers.”

  3. I’m waiting for the Netflix mini series crime documentary with Franco playing Luigi.

  4. My one concern for a movie adaptation is that they would try to make Luigi seem like a bad guy

  5. I saw a picture of Brett Goldstein smiling after the smiling picture of LM was released. Un.Canny 🤯
