James Franco pulls out of upcoming film 'While We’re Young'

James Franco has reportedly dropped out of upcoming drama While We're Young, which was due to begin filming in New York in June.

Franco is said to have left the project because of his scheduling conflicts with Oz, the Great and Powerful.

The 127 Hours star was due to star as a free-spirited young man who inspires an uptight documentarian, to be played by Ben Stiller, to loosen up, reports the Daily Express.

According to JustJared.com, Cate Blanchett, who was cast as Stiller's onscreen wife, has also dropped out of Noah  Baumbach's project.
