Oscilloscope Laboratories picks up the James Franco film
In his famously confessional style, Ginsberg - poet, counter-culture icon, and chronicler of the Beat Generation - recounts the road trips, love affairs, and search for personal liberation that led to Howl, the most timeless work of his career. Howl interweaves three stories: the unfolding of the landmark 1957 obscenity trial; an imaginative animated ride through the prophetic masterpiece; and a unique portrait of a man who found new ways to express himself, and in doing so, changed his own life and galvanized a generation.
Howl features James Franco, David Strathairn, Jon Hamm, Bob Balaban, Alessandro Nivola, Treat Williams, with Mary-Louise Parker and Jeff Daniels.
David Fenkel, co-founder of Oscilloscope says, "At O-Scope we love working with passionate, creative filmmakers who make entertaining and meaningful films, and the team behind Howl perfectly fit this profile. They put together a great cast, lead by a performance by James Franco that people will be talking about for years."
Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman say: "We're very happy that Howl has found the perfect home and partners. Oscilloscope is the coolest company around."
Elizabeth Redleaf, CEO of Werc Werk Works says: "We are very fortunate that Oscilloscope has come on board to bring their passion and dedication to this extraordinary and inspiring movie."
Christine Walker, President of Werc Werk Works says: "Adam Yauch and his team have a terrific track record of nurturing unique films like Howl and we look forward to working with them and bringing it to the widest audience possible."
Howl was released September 24th, 2010 and stars Jon Hamm, James Franco, Mary-Louise Parker, Jeff Daniels, David Strathairn, Alessandro Nivola, Treat Williams, Aaron Tveit. The film is directed by Rob Epstein, Jeffrey Friedman.
