is that they fabricate material to make it even stranger despite the truth already being crazier than what any screenwriter can come up with. Play it straight with what they got and don't add anything extra.
What's missing in movies is same as in society: a good sense of work ethic and living up to ideals.
What kind of material are they making up?

Oh I got no idea but I hope it doesn't happen. You can't make up the stuff that went on behind the scenes in The Room;you can't.
shareYes, I really hope it lets the source material speak for itself. Most Franco / Rogan movies have a tendency to "notice" the humor, if you will, so the former yucking it up and winking at the audience would just kill it for me. That and, as you said, trying to "spice it up" at all. There's so much surreal and real humor in the book that them adding any more would be a waste.
Oh yeah, and I'm also worried that they won't take the serious scenes in a serious manner. Tommy's ride with Greg at breakneck (for Tommy, at least) speeds is legitimately tense, while the premier to the Room feels legitimately triumphant, so adding humor here would just miss the point and ruin it.
I do know they're fans, though, so maybe I shouldn't worry.
i agree with you both, specially the last post
making this into a 100 percent comedy would result in a movie far worse than the room, they need to have balance without the funny stuff and the darker stuff
