By Will Stroude

James Franco’s upcoming gay porn drama King Cobra has been causing a fair old stir as of late, and now we’ve got our first look at the unlikely new movie, courtesy of an Entertainment Weekly.

The movie stars Christian Slater, James Franco, Molly Ringwald, Alicia Silverstone and former Disney star Garrett Clayton as a young Sean Paul Lockhart, aka gay porn star Brent Corrigan, who can be seen in the clip below telling his unsuspecting mother about how his new career in film is going.

Inspired by true events, King Cobra follows former Cobra video star Corrigan as he’s mentored by adult movie producer Byran Kocis, before a pair of rival producers (played by James Franco and Pretty Little Liars star Keegan Allen) resort to drastic measures to cash in on his growing success – with deadly consequences.

King Cobra premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival this Saturday (April 16). Watch the teaser clip below:
