Look! James Franco & Zachary Quinto in movie threesome pics

Steamy pictures of man-on-man intimacy from James Franco’s new gay-themed movie have been released.

The photos were shared online ahead of the première of I Am Michael at the Sundance Film Festival, which kicked off on Thursday.

It’s based on the true story of Michael Glatze (Franco), a high-profile gay rights activist who ended up becoming a “straight” anti-gay pastor.

One of the pictures, posted on Instagram by Franco himself, is of the star playfully kissing Zachary Quinto, who takes on the role of Glatze’s boyfriend.

The other photo, first published by E! News, is a peak at the previously rumoured threesome in the film, in which Franco and Quinto get down and dirty with actor Charlie Carver (Desperate Housewives, Teen Wolf).

The three hotties are seen shirtless and kissing and groping each other.

The film will no-doubt be controversial due to its exploration of the “conversion” to heterosexuality by Glatze, who founded a magazine for young gay men.

After a health scare he turned to Christianity and in 2005 completely renounced his homosexuality, becoming a fundamentalist religious crusader against the gay community to which he used to belong.

We’ve said before that we can’t wait to see this movie. We’ll say it again!
