Mon, 01/02/2012 - 16:08

New Trailer:

The Broken Tower was purchased by Focus Features and will be released On Demand on Jan. 10th 2011. Here is the link to Focus Features' page on the film: link.

From Focus World and director/star James Franco, a film about visionary poet Hart Crane, who lived a life of beauty, passion, and tragedy. Hart Crane was one of the most important voices in American poetry – but lived a life with as much turmoil as passion. From his early life to his journeys from New York, Cuba, and Paris, Crane’s story and that of the loves that defined him is told with imaginative empathy, and with a no holds barred performance – in a film as introspective, rebellious, heartbreaking, and honest as Crane himself.

James Franco has a small write up on Hart Crane and the Broken Tower, a feature film directed by Franco and designed by Kristen Adams. The image in the magazine is a scene in which Hart is working for an ad agency and is trying to write a slogan for perfume. The art team wasn't sure how many perfume bottles he would need and we still have about 50 bottles in a box in the closet.

The Broken Tower is set to premiere at the L.A. Film Festival this summer. Check out the full article and more photos of behind the scenes of the Broken Tower: here.
