James Franco as Allen Ginsberg reading "Howl" in new movie


In the video below, readers will find a sneak peek at one of the clips from the new movie, Howl, starring James Franco portraying Allen Ginsberg (pictured above). The film premieres this week at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. As I mentioned in a previous post at “One Poet’s Notes” about this project, the movie includes a number of well-known Hollywood figures in supporting roles, such as Mary-Louise Parker, Jeff Daniels, Alan Alda, and Treat Williams. The previous “One Poet’s Notes” article also displays a link to audio of Ginsberg reading his famous poem.

Thanks--my computer is being stubborn! I'll check on youtube. I've been really curious about the film since you mentioned it a while back--both because of Ginsberg & Fracno, and now esp b/c as I was flipping channels the other day I caught Frano on tv, on a soap-opera!
