Franco, who’s directed numerous films including the critically acclaimedThe Disaster Artist, says he knewPretenderswas a “story I had to tell” when he read Josh Boone’s script.
“These dreamers were just like me: they wound their lives up with their dreams: they made films about their lives and their lives resembled their films. It was all inextricable,” he tells PEOPLE. “My dear friend and collaborator, [executive producer] Bruce Thierry-Cheung, with whom I had gone to NYU with, saw this as a chance to indulge our obsessions and, just like the characters, to create something out of the fabric of our own fantasies.”
The movie also stars Dennis Quaid, Juno Temple, Brian Cox and features Franco.
It opens in select theaters and is available on VOD Oct. 4.
