James Franco to Star in 'The Game'?

James Franco is in talks to star as a pickup artist in The Game, an adaptation of the bestselling novel of the same name.

Renowned author Neil Strauss' book documents his attempts to master the "game" of becoming a pickup artist. Franco would play Mystery, a man who more or less trains Strauss in the book.

Franco most recently starred in Rise of the Planet of the Apes and has quite possibly the busiest schedule of any actor over the next two years.
