If you ever stopped to ask yourself "what is James Franco doing right now, other than shaving his head and imitating the scrunched-up laughing face emoji on Instagram?", here's your answer. The Palo Alto actor and Dazed cover star is launching his own TV show for AOL, Making A Scene with James Franco. Obviously, James Franco being James Franco, he features heavily in the series. 

The idea behind Making A Scene with James Franco is simple. James Franco reenacts iconic movies, remixing scenes and characters so they achieve maximum, Franco-enabled weirdness. So you get James Franco as Napoleon Dynamite in the shootout scene from Pulp Fiction. This either looks like a YouTube sketch show with very high production values or yet another entry into James Franco's canon of self-referential crossover art. It debuts on 17 September and will run for ten episodes. 

Franco isn't the first Hollywood actor to move into the webseries business. Zach Galifianakis might be better known for churning out The Hangover sequels, but he's most loved for Funny or Die's Between Two Ferns, in which he stages car-crash interviews with big names like Barack Obama and – oh shit, is that, no it can't be – James Franco. Again.

Hey, it's Franco's world – we're just living in it.
