Disney star ‘to play Brent Corrigan’ in James Franco gay porn drama
Disney star Garrett Clayton will reportedly play infamous gay porn star Brent Corrigan in an upcoming gay porn drama film.
According to reports, James Franco is currently working on porn drama film King Cobra – which will be based on the murder of filmmaker Bryan Kocis in 2007.
Garrett Clayton, best known for his roles in Disney films, is thought to be making a transition from the kid-friendly world of Disney and the Teen Beach films, to starring as one of the world’s most famous gay porn stars.
According to Dark Horizons, Clayton has been lined up to play Brent Corrigan – real name Sean Paul Lockhart – a famed porn star who starred in a number of high-profile adult films, before making the transition to filmmaking.
Kocis, the owner of porn company Cobra Video which boasted Corrigan on its roster, was stabbed to death by two escorts at his Pennsylvania home in January 2007.
The murder was notoriously violent, with Kocis stabbed 28 times, before his throat was cut, and his house set on fire to destroy evidence of the crime.
Lockhart testified for the prosecution at trial of killers Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes, explaining disputes within the industry over the use of the ‘Brent Corrigan’ stage name.
Christain Slater and Molly Ringwald will also star in the drama, according to the reports.
