Like a nightclub touted by Saturday Night Live’s Stefon, the new film King Cobra offers up a plethora of wild, unexpected delights. This Justin Kelly–directed movie has everything, including James Franco and Christian Slater as rival gay-porn moguls warring over the employment of Brent Corrigan (Garrett Clayton), the industry’s most promising new bottom. It also boasts Pretty Little Liars star Keegan Allen as Franco’s lover, who eagerly repeats the movie’s unforgettable rallying cry: “No little bitches!†If you happen to want cameos from the teen queens of the ‘80s and ‘90s, King Cobra has you covered there, too, since both Molly Ringwald and Alicia Silverstone pop in as concerned relatives struck dumb by the growing gay-porn scandal. And to wrap it all up, there’s King Cobra’s fascinating true-crime angle: This gay-porn war really happened, and one of the participants didn’t survive it. What (and who) went down? Get a glimpse in Vulture’s exclusive trailer for the film, out October 21.
