Earlier this year we heard actor James Franco talking about how he was interested in filming the lost explicit sex scene footage that was removed from the controversial gay S&M serial killer film Cruising. Now Paper Magazine has an exclusive first look from Franco's and Travis Matthews’ erotic art film, which is called 40 Minute. The fictitious “lost” sequence is currently streaming in the dressing rooms at Costume National‘s Soho store through October 15. (A feature-length version may surface later this year.)
For those of you who are not familiar with the film (I was an infant when it came out in 1980), Cruising, which was directed by William Friedkin (The Exorcist) was about a cop (Al Pacino) who goes undercover in New York's gay leather bar scene to track a serial killer.
“We wanted to revisit [Cruising] for many reasons,” Franco told Paper, “one of which was to celebrate the unapologetic queerness of the material, the anti-normative stance that the men in the old leather bars embraced.”
Unfortunately I can't embed the video on my blog, but if you are interested in checking out images from the film as well as an interview with Matthews, who directed the explicit film-festival hit I Want Your Love., head over to Paper's website
