James Franco Joins Cast of VERONICA MARS Film?

According to zap2it.com, James Franco is set to make a cameo appearance as himself in the upcoming VERONICA MARS movie.

In the film's plot, several A-list stars, including the 'Wizard of Oz' himself, will be victims of a hidden camera scam. A slew of the rich and famous will unwittingly be taped in their own homes, with the footage subsequently sold to the highest bidder.

Reps for Franco and the movie did not comment on the report.

Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas began one of the most successful Kickstarter projects in history this March in order to bring his big screen adaptation of the popular TV series to fruition. The kickstarter raised over $5.7 million - thanks to the show's Cult following, the film hit its goal of $2 million in just half-a-day into the one-month deadline.

Thomas outlined a portion of the film's potential plot, writing:

"Life has taken Veronica away from Neptune. In the years since spoiling Keith's chances to be reelected sheriff, Veronica hasn't taken a case. But something big is about to bring her back home and back to her calling. My goal is to include as many of your favorite characters as possible. It is, after all, time for Veronica's 10-year High School reunion."

The film is set for a 2014 release.
