James Franco and Charlie Carver hang out at the cast dinner for I am Michael during the 2015 Sundance Film Festival at the Stella Artois Cafe on Sunday (January 25) in Park City, Uta.

The day before, Adrien Grenier and Toni Collette were spotted signing autographs to show support for Water.org’s “Buy a Lady a Drink” campaign at the cafe.

James recently discussed his recent hacker film The Interview, which was the talk of the town last month.

“It’s a genuinely funny movie, but the older crowd also had these weird expectations that it would be Zero Dark Thirty or something, when I think what Seth [Rogen] and [Co-writer and co-director] Evan [Goldberg] did – which was great – was blend their normal, genuinely funny comedy with a subject that is pretty serious. It felt like there was some resentment from people that Seth Rogen, the lovable stoner, would dare take on such a subject,” James shared to the Daily Beast.
