A while back, we told you James Franco was planning on making a "gay sex art" film.
Now we have the lowdown on the down-low flick, straight from director Travis Mathews.
Mathews says Franco brought the idea of a hardcore homage to the 1980 film Cruising to him. He says:
"He knew he wanted real gay sex in it. His people went looking for a filmmaker who had filmed real gay sex, and I suspect someone who would complement his vision. We talked about why we would be interested in still looking at this film."
The original Cruising starred Al Pacino as a cop who had to go undercover in the late 70s gay S&M scene in order to catch a killer.
But a real-life mystery popped up around the movie
