James Franco has set his sights on the story of an exotic dancer published on Twitter.

‘Zola’ was published via 148 tweets by Aziah ‘Zola’ Wells, an exotic dancer who chronicled her sex, drug and Hip Hop-fuelled trip to Florida.

The dramatic comedy caught the attention of ‘The Interview’ actor prompting him to sign on to direct its film adaptation with the help of the writers Andrew Neel and Mike Roberts.

A release date is yet to be set.
