Actor and one-time Academy Awards host James Franco slammed Spring Breakers: The Second Coming earlier this week. While the original movie was directed by Harmony Korine, Spring Breakers 2 will be directed by Jonas Akerlund; A fact that Franco, who prides himself on artistic integrity, wasn’t too thrilled about.

“The original was wholly Harmony’s creation and these producers are capitalizing on that innovative film to make money on a weak sequel,” Franco wrote on Instagram Wednesday. “I want everyone to know that whoever is involved in the sequel is jumping on board a poison ship. It will be a terrible film, with a horrible reason d’être: to make money off someone else’s creativity.”

“Can you imagine someone making the sequel to ‘Taxi Driver’ without Scorcese and DeNiro’s consents? Insanity! I’m speaking up for Harmony and his original vision and for any creative person who cares about preserving artistic integrity.”

Chris Hanley, the producer for Spring Breakers: The Second Coming, disagreed with Franco, calling him a hypocrite for slamming a sequel.

“Franco is a sequel junkie in his own reality, embracing the too big to fail studio system that is his meal ticket to dilettante artistic side shows, while he glibly attacks real independent filmmakers dedicated to independent points of view,” Chris Hanley told Variety.

Spring Breakers, which also featured Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez, pulled in more than $31 million worldwide.
