In late October 2015, the only thing the internet could talk about was Twitter user @_zolarmoon's story about a trip to Florida that was almost too crazy to believe about two sex workers, a violent pimp, a depressed boyfriend (which just scratches the surface, really).
And soon, audiences may be able to see that story on a big screen: James Franco is working on directing a film about the 148-tweet saga, BuzzFeed News has confirmed.
The woman behind @_zolarmoon — Aziah Wells, who goes by Zola on stage as a stripper — sat down for an exclusive interview with Rolling Stone in November 2015. Now, Franco is teaming up with screenwriter Andrew Neel, and production company Killer Films to adapt the tell-all into a feature film, which is currently in development.
Franco recently produced Goat — based on Brad Land's memoir about his experiences getting hazed while pledging a fraternity — which Neel co-wrote and directed, and which premiered at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival.
BuzzFeed News has reached out to Wells for a comment.
This story is developing.
