HaydnSpurrell Stephen King's next property headed to the big screen is Drunken Fireworks, with James Franco set to star in the lead role.

Rabbit Bandini Productions and Rubicon Entertainment are teaming up for the project, and Franco will star as Alden McCausland, a local good ol' boy who competes with retired mob boss Nicky Serrano in an unfriendly and ever-escalating Fourth of July fireworks competition.

Deadline reports that Franco may direct as well, though that has yet to be decided. The script is from Matt Rager, who himself is a frequent collaborator of Franco's.
