VIDEO : James Franco Co-Writes Book About Lana Del Rey With Best-Selling Author

After writing an ode to his good friend and muse, Lana Del Rey, earlier this year for V Magazine, perhaps in a bit of foreshadowing, actor James Franco ended the piece by writing, "I wanted to interview Lana for a book and she said, 'Just write around me; it's better if it's not my own words. It's almost better if you don't get me exactly, but try.'"
Now, Franco is co-writing Flip-Side: Real and Imaginary Conversations With Lana Del Rey with David Shields.
The 100-page book will be released March 15, 2016, via Penguin Random House.
