Cowboys & Aliens director Jon Favreau‘s promotional push for the sci-fi Western continues with a directing gig on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! Favreau, who spent the weekend at Comic-Con, will helm the Wednesday episode as part of a Cowboys & Aliens-themed week of JKL featuring interviews with stars Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde and Adam Beach. Other feature directors who have directed episodes of JKL include Quentin Tarantino, J.J. Abrams and Michel Gondry. Speaking of moonlighting, James Franco will be returning for yet another tour of duty on ABC’s only surviving soap, General Hospital, this time reportedly long-term. He will reprise his role as artist/serial killer Robert “Franco” Frank.

There is something so wacky and awesome of an actor of Franco’s caliber doing a soap!
Wow Franco is the actor’s actor.
I think they should have to credit him as “Dr. James Franco” in the credits. True, he doesn’t have his doctorate YET. But everyone knows he’s there…
So that’s why they axed Tyler C. and Ingo R., to cover Franco’s salary?
After fucking up the Oscars that’s where he belongs.
Peggy, you are absolutely correct. Also , James is about the fuck up the ” Planet of the Apes ” remake. His acting in that trailer is atrocious.
Seriously, still going on about the Oscars mmmmmmmmm sad. Since then more important things have happened in the world than the Oscars, I know hard to believe.
James Franco is the Man THAT simple!
NOOOO….Sorry but the Nickolas character was heading no where..They messed that up…..Jax I loved when he was a cool wheeler Dealer but they wrote him into a hole too……NOW isn’t Franco obsessed with Josslyn????…..Maybe Jax isn’t out yet ….
ABC still has two other surviving soaps in All My Children and One Life to Live. They’re cancelled, but they’re not dead yet. They are also both better than General Hospital. I like James Franco, but anything less than Genie Francis’ return with a great writer is not worth tuning in.
Tyler Christopher no longer makes the fangirls swoon, and Ingo Rademacher should have taken more chances in primetime over the past ten years. Thad Luckinbill of Y&R was guest starring all over the place while still doing his soap. When they let him go, he got snatched up immediately for Nikita.
You have to love an actor that say’s “I am in” and doesn’t buy into all the other BS. He is one hell of an actor!!!!
