James Franco Pens Flattering Lana Del Rey Essay: 'The Interview' Star May Be in Love Following Howard Stern Show

Franco is completely infatuated by the Ultraviolence singer, saying she "wasn't made for this Earth."

"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,'" Franco said.

The actor went on to highlight a movie idea of Rey's, one that he is interested in making with her:

"She has this idea for a film. I want to do it because it's a little like Sunset Boulevard. A woman is alone in a big house in L.A. She doesn't want to go out. She starts to go crazy, and becomes paranoid because she feels like people are watching her. Even in her own house. It's like an awesome B-movie that lives in Lana's head. It's about her, and it's not about her. Just like her music."

All of the kind words have led to speculation that the pair want to make more than just a movie. Take Franco's Stern interview from a few weeks ago, for example. He said he wants to "make love to her music." And then he gets even more ... Franco-y.

"Sometimes I love a person's work and, like, I'm just so enamored with that and their persona in their work. But outside of that, it's like, our dynamic is we're just kind of friends, we get along so well. But all this sexual attraction is for the person and the work," he said.

Rey announced the title of her next album recently as Honeymoon. No release date has been given.
