Los Angeles: Singer-actress Selena Gomez and actor James Franco are reuniting on the big screen for In Dubious Battle.
The movie is based on John Steinbeck’s eponymous novel, which portrays the economic struggle between labour and capital in 1930s America, Eonline.com reports.
Franco will also be directing the film, which has a star-studded cast that includes Vincent D’Onofrio, Robert Duvall, Ed Harris, Bryan Cranston and Danny McBride.
The film is set in a fictionalised valley in California and explores themes Steinbeck continued to develop: group behaviour, social injustice and man’s inhumanity to man.
Franco and Gomez starred in the 2012 film Spring Breakers.
