Recently Esquire had and interview with James Franco. During the interview, James revealed that he is reading Twilight! He generally fits the bill of a vaguely hungover, Lower East Side, semi-academic hipster artist living the unraveling agenda of Tuesday-morning being and nothingness. He sits by a side door near a pail of mop water. There's a paperback, palm-pinched, cover down, in his right hand, and a big plastic shopping bag full up with something he doesn't want to show just yet. When asked what he's reading, Franco smiles his

ungrudgingly adolescent smile, a grin as terminally satisfying as the last healthy squeeze on a tube of toothpaste. He is engaging, for just a second, in the mutual diction of actor and artist — "It's for a project," he says. But the word — project — thumps out of him unprecious and without bluster, as if he were naming a day of the week. He's always got something going. He flips the book over. Twilight.

Keep in mind: The position of things is such that he doesn't have to show the book. Had he said Jude the Obscure, no one would have been the wiser. He's a graduate student, after all, enrolled in two universities at pretty much any given moment. "It's crazy how much sexual tension there is," he says. "It just builds and builds. I mean it never stops. It's sort of explosive by the end. Crazy. Like they'll blow up with it. And of course, they don't." He shrugs then, a good shrug, because he is selling nothing with it. "Which is the point too, I guess."

So here's the big question: why is he reading Twilight? He's not working on a Twilight spoof as far as anyone knows and he doesn't seem to be the Twilight Guy type. By "it's for a project," does he mean Breaking Dawn?

Clevver TV has a video talking about this possibility:


So, if he really is going to be in Breaking Dawn, who do you think he's going to play?
