See James Franco Try to Lure Emma Roberts to His House in New Clips and Images from 'PALO ALTO'

Just days after the Tribeca Film Festival came to a close this year, their distribution company has been on a roll picking up several promising films and continuing their success. Though I didn't have a chance to check out Gia Coppola's directorial debut, PALO ALTO (which cast includes James Franco, Emma Roberts and Val Kilmer), at the fest this year, luckily I will be able to catch a screening next week. So I'll let you know how it is.

You may remember from my previous post that the film is based on several linked stories in Franco's book of the same name. Here's a recap of the synopsis:

Shy, sensitive April (Emma Roberts) is the class virgin —a popular soccer player and frequent babysitter for her single-dad coach, Mr. B. (James Franco). Teddy (Jack Kilmer) is an introspective artist whose best friend and sidekick Fred (Nat Wolff) is an unpredictable live wire with few filters or boundaries. While April negotiates a dangerous affair with Mr. B., and Teddy performs community service for a DUI — secretly carrying a torch for April, who may or may not share his affection — Fred seduces Emily (Zoe Levin), a promiscuous loner who seeks validation through sexual encounters. One high school party bleeds into another as April and Teddy finally acknowledge their mutual affection, and Fred's escalating recklessness spirals into chaos.

In the meantime, Tribeca has released several new images and clips from the film, which are below. Also, James Franco is still sporting hi signature blend of perv and goofball. Check it:

PALO ALTO is in select theaters on Friday, May 9th.
