[UPDATED] New Clip From James Franco’s Cobra King Movie Gives Us A Better Look At Garrett Clayton Doing His Best Brent Corrigan Impersonation
We have been following the production of this intriguing James Franco pet project for a while and now the first clip of the movie has arrived! The movie, which QC readers will probably remember is a fictionalized recount of real-life horrific events and is about to get its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. The clip, albeit brief, is somehow packed with cryptic information, we don’t know if casual viewers will get much of what’s being said but for those who followed the case (the brutal assassination of Bryan Kocis, owner of porn studio Cobra Video, by porn stars Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes) the situation portrayed will ring many bells.
In a voice over, former Disney actor Garrett Clayton, who plays Brent Corrigan in the movie, tells his mother over the phone about the “film internship” he’s been doing and his plans to continue in that work position during the summer remarking that he’s gotten the chance to be at the editing room for the first time. In real life this scene must be taken from the days in 2004 when Brent Corrigan, was under-aged at the time moved in with Kocis at Midland Drive. Corrigan described those days in a Rolling Stone article with these words “He used me to attract these boys. There was always alcohol in the house. That summer I spent with him, I drank more than I ever have in my life.” The movie clip is intercut with images of Christian Slater (who plays Kocis) and other scenes with Garrett/Brent taking a steamy shower in a dark bathroom. (Note aside, who has a better butt, Garrett Clayton or Brent Corrigan?)
We are looking forward to seeing the full movie but since it’s an indie project the marketing has been a bit lackluster considering it has James Franco attached. QC readers what do you think of the King Cobra movie? Make the jump to see the first clip with Garrett Clayton doing his best Brent Corrigan impersonation and let us know what you think in the comments!
[UPDATE 16-04-15] A second clip, featuring James Franco and Keegan Allen (who plays Harlow Cuadra), has been released. Make the jump to watch them training at the gym!
[UPDATE 16-04-15] A second clip, featuring James Franco and Keegan Allen (who plays Harlow Cuadra), has been released, showing the gay adult performers at the gym slurping protein shakes.
