James Franco is a busy guy. He’s not busy partying in LA or lounging poolside like many of his acting contemporaries, but instead is busy taking classes at Yale and writing novels. In fact, he’s the kind of guy that is so busy that he once had to juggle taking classes at Columbia and filming 127 Hours by continually flying back and forth between New York and Salt Lake City just so he wouldn’t lose credit and fall behind in class. Needless to say this desire to be constantly learning, creating, and growing as an artist has earned Franco a renaissance man reputation and has left fans of his work interested in what the actor/director/poet/professor is doing next. If you are one of the many people interested in Franco’s upcoming projects here is a complete list of everything he’ll be working on or releasing soon.

First up is Franco’s Indie film Palo Alto, which is loosely based on his 2010 novel of the same name. The film was completely funded through donations on the website Indiegogo and was directed by Gia Coppola, the Granddaughter of legendary director Francis Ford Coppola. The film has been shown at a few small film festivals around the country but hadn’t been released in theaters, but a recent variety.com article revealed that Tribec Films have picked up Palo Alto as a distributor and is expected to hit theaters in New York and Los Angeles May 9th.

As if writing and starring in films isn’t hectic enough, this year Franco will break away from filming to make his broadway debut in a play adaptation of Steinbeck’s classic Of Mice and Men along side Bridesmaids funny man  Chris O’Dowd and Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester. Of Mice and Men will debut on Broadway April 16th and is set to conclude July 17th. (For more information about Of Mice and Men check out this Broadway article). If by some chance you’re not able to catch Franco in this classic production, or just aren’t a theater/Steinbeck fan in general, fear not because he’ll be returning to the big screen this fall in The Interview, a film co-written by Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen, the comedy masterminds behind Superbad (2007), Pineapple Express (2008), and last summer apocalypse comedy This Is The End (2013) . Rogen is slated to co-star in the comedy alongside Franco as well as direct the film, so if your a fan of this hollywood bromance keep an eye out for a trailer in the coming months.

Sound Exhausting? Well that’s only the tip of the iceberg. In recognition of his eclectic artistry New York’s IFC Theater will be hosting a James Franco Film Festival exhibiting his past works and some of his upcoming projects that will begin March 5th. Franco himself will be in attendance and is expected to talk about the indie moviemaking process to those lucky enough to get tickets to the showings.

Another highly anticipated Franco project expected to begin filming this year is The Disaster Artist, a film Franco is set to direct, produce, and star in based on the recently published book of the same name written by Greg Sestero. The Disaster Artist is a behind the scenes memoir that looks at the making of the indie cult classic The Room, widely considered to be one of the worst films of all time for it’s horrible acting, plot inconsistencies, and strange subject matter. Franco is expected to star in the alongside his Brother Dave in the film, which as of now is still being written.
