Bukowski (2014 film)

Bukowski is an upcoming American biographical film. It retells the childhood years of writer Charles Bukowski. The film was directed by James Franco and stars Josh Peck as Charles Bukowski, Tim Blake Nelson as his father, Henry, and Alex Kingston as his mother, Katharina.

Shooting began on January 22, 2013, in Los Angeles. After shooting for two weeks, the crew took a break, with a planned resumption in March 2013. In April 2014, Cyril Humphris announced that he had filed a lawsuit against Franco that alleges that Franco had adapted Ham on Rye without the necessary film rights. The suit was later dropped.
