Actor James Franco has said that he is fascinated by the "phenomenon of 'Twilight' now."
Speaking to MTV News, the actor said of the 'Twilight' movies: "I wouldn't say I enjoy them, but I'm fascinated with them."
"I'm interested in the metaphor of the vampire placed in the high school setting and how a relationship with a vampire can stand in for general feelings that people have as teenagers. And the obsession people have with that is also fascinating to me."
"The movies are interesting also because they've really become part of the whole 'Twilight' phenomenon, and it's really hard to extricate those actors from the reading experience or just the phenomenon of 'Twilight' now."
"They've become a part of it (the books' continuity) to the point that the movies are almost commenting on themselves."
