MUMBAI: James Franco is all set to direct Child of God, a film that is based on Cormac McCarthy‘s novel.
 
The film follows a recently-released convict who lives outside of normal society in a cave in the hills of East Tennessee and engages in necrophilia and other acts of ‘crime and degradation‘.
 
"We shot a 20-minute test of it that turned out pretty well, we were gearing up to do the feature but that for various reasons it‘s on hold, but we are going to make a movie based on his Cormac McCarthy‘s third book Child Of God," said Franco in a quote.
 
Franco is currently working on two documentaries- one about his time on US soap General Hospital and the other about a porn website.
