Now using one of the most unintentionally funny films of all time as fodder for a film about a film has yielded comic gold. James Franco nails the role of The Room’s creator Tommy Wiseau (minus the middle age creepiness) and has never been more fearless or funny. It’s also a family affair and features his brother Dave as a co-lead actor.

The Room was beyond bad and feels as if it was alien in origin while The Disaster Artist feels Hollywood through and through. From its star laden cameos to the Franco brothers act, they both originated from different worlds but both generate huge laughs. The film also never devolves into snide commentary and treats Tommy Wiseau fairly.

Don’t worry if you are yet to see The Room as at film’s end there are some side by side scene comparison that put the current crazy in context to the fractured past. The Disaster Artist is a blast and should not be missed.

Audiences around the world have embraced Wiseau’s film, dressing up as their favourite characters, throwing plastic spoons at the screen, tossing footballs to each other, and yelling insulting comments about the quality of the film.

The Room is a truly unforgettable film with glaring plot holes, strange editing and a bizarre lead performance from Tommy Wiseau himself. Set in San Francisco, The Room tells of a love triangle involving Johnny, his friend Mark, and Johnny’s fiancee Lisa – who is sleeping with both men!

The making of the film is documented in the best-selling book THE DISASTER ARTIST, which was recently adapted into a movie with James Franco.

After sellout Brisbane screenings of BEST F(R)IENDS Volume One earlier in the year, cult movie star Greg Sestero returns for this special movie event, and to screen Volume Two of his latest film.

Star of Tommy Wiseau’s infamous cult movie The Room, Greg Sestero is the best-selling author of The Disaster Artist, his biographical account of working on The Room as a struggling actor in Hollywood. His book was recently adapted into an Oscar-winning film starring James Franco.

Greg Sestero made a name in Hollywood after appearing in such films as Patch Adams and Gattaca, plus a part on Days of Our Lives. Dan Jensen of MovieTalk will host a Q&A session with Greg Sestero following the screening Best F(r)iends Volume Two.

The new Wiseau-Sestero dark comedy thriller BEST F(R)IENDS is inspired by a roadtrip made by Sestero and Wiseau after the production of The Room in 2003. BEST F(R)IENDS is written by Greg Sestero and he stars alongside Tommy Wiseau.

THE PLOT : As Jon the drifter makes a run for it, he finds himself on a desert expedition, where wild characters and dark foibles intersect. As his misadventure teaches him about friendship and loyalty, Wiseau’s mortician surfaces a surprise or two.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Greg Sestero back to Brisbane this December for a special screening of his latest creation,” said organiser Kristian Fletcher.
