'The Fault in Our Stars' screenwriters to write James Franco's 'The Disaster Artist'

A movie about the making of one of the all time worst movies, The Room, is currently in development, and we now have word about who will be writing the film.

According to Slashfilm, The Disaster Artist will be written by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber. The news was first reported by Metro.

Neustadter and Weber are also known for writing (500) Days of Summer and The Spectacular Now, in addition to this year's hit film, The Fault in Our Stars.

As we previously reported, The Disaster Artist will star James Franco, and will be about the making of The Room, one of the most famously terrible movies ever made. Franco will be playing Tommy Wiseau, director of The Room.

The film is based on the book The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside the Room, the Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made, written by star of The Room, Greg Sestero. It tells the real story of how he got involved in The Room, the increasingly strange decisions Wiseau made on set that caused the film to turn out so strange, and the cult hit that followed as the film started attracting fans because of how absurdly terrible it was.

Sestero will be played by Dave Franco in the film, as we've previously reported.

The Disaster Artist will be produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg who were also behind This is the End and Neighbors.
