James Franco films movie scenes in Princeton

PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) - March 25, 2014

The actor is directing and starring in an adaptation of William Faulkner's novel, "The Sound and the Fury."

Monday's shoot featured a stuntman jumping from the Washington Road bridge onto an air mattress to depict a scene from the movie in which a character commits suicide from a bridge over the Charles River in Cambridge, Mass.

Princeton University sophomore Kelly Byrne tells The Times of Trenton she spotted Franco from afar because of his facial hair. The 19-year-old says she's a fan and Franco is welcome in Princeton any time.
