Ever think it'd be nice to live next to a celeb, witnessing their comings and goings, getting to mind their dogs and maybe the odd invite to a party? Turns out that's not the case for James Franco's LA neighbours, who were completely proud of their neighbourhood celebrity up until recently.
Turns out in the last few weeks that James has turned his pad into a full-on production studio, with staff and trailers now plentiful in the area and causing a bit of hassle for the rest of the residents. One anonymous tipster in the Silver Lake area wrote an email to a LA real estate blog outlining the effects of the developments which include:
Large white production trucks and various other vehicles block our driveway and use it as a loading zone and block our street with such regularity that we have begun calling parking enforcement to have them ticketed; racks of costumes come and go; crowds of people constantly stream in and out of the house and have business meetings in front of OUR house and treat us as if we are eavesdropping sycophants when we walk out our gate to our car; and as I write this, they've set up hair and make-up in their driveway.
Not exactly activity on your doorstep now is it. There's no official word of what's actually going on, but seeing as Franco is so fond of making his own arthouse films, it's probably something you wouldn't want to see in the making.
