" Jared Leto, currently starring in Dallas Buyers Club, has made a short film with his band Thirty Seconds to Mars called City of Angels about the city of Los Angeles, and for it he&amp;#039;s gathered an intimidating cast of local celebrities to talk about their lives there, including Kanye West, Lindsay Lohan, Juliette Lewis... and James Franco. Here we&amp;#039;re premiering exclusive unseen footage from the shooting of the doc, in which Franco tells the story of his rise in L.A. Young Franco purportedly dreamed of &amp;quot;sun and palm trees&amp;quot; and wanted to be the &amp;quot;third James&amp;quot; to attend UCLA (following the footsteps of his heroes Jim Morrison and James Dean). Then he goes off on a tangent about broken dreams. All in all, pretty whacky but endearing, which is to say, exactly what we&amp;#039;ve come to expect from James Franco.
