James Franco Breaks Broadway Date With Nicole Kidman

Sad news, theater fans: James Franco will not be making his Broadway debut this fall in David Cromer's production of the Tennessee Williams drama Sweet Bird of Youth. Monday, the actor's publicist confirmed that Franco was no longer attached to the play, where he was set to star as the gigolo paramour to Nicole Kidman's voracious movie star. As of now, Cromer is not sure if or when the Scott Rudin-produced Sweet Bird will take the stage. [NYT/ArtsBeat]
