After shaving, James Franco took another bathroom mirror selfie, showing he is "Bald as a mutha!" He also documented the process of tattooing the back of his head.

E News said that the ex-Harry Osborn of Spider Man is not yet done on his transformation for Zeroville's VIkar. James Franco appeared bald in Venice film festival.

Meanwhile, the plot of Zeroville book version goes:

"Ike Jerome, a 24-year-old architecture student inspired by the few films he has seen, rides the bus into Hollywood. Jerome is almost autistic (later, his friend dubs him a "cineautistic") in his interactions with the world, and is deeply affected by his childhood with his religiously oppressive father. With a tattoo of Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor as they appear in A Place in the Sun (a film that plays an important role in the plot) on his shaved head, he makes an impression on the people around him. Soon breaking into film as a designer and eventually a film editor, Vikar (as he is nicknamed) begins a dreamlike journey into the world of films that eventually ends in tragedy and almost horrific discovery." -Wikipedia

The release date for Zeroville has not been announced yet.
