The film had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on September 5, 2014. In January 2014, it was reported Keegan Allen, Tim Blake Nelson, Seth Rogen, Danny McBride, Loretta DeVine, and Janet Gretzky had joined the cast of the film. Even as late as the film's screening at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival some playbills still made this claim, and the posters had to be reprinted before opening. Hamm's schedule was too tight and the role ultimately went to Tim Blake Nelson, but in spite of this the story that Hamm was in the movie persisted. In an early interview with Franco in 2013, the director suggested he wanted Jon Hamm in the role of Mr. Seth Rogen as Telegraph operator (cameo).The film focuses on the Compson family, and their struggles to adjust to the changing society of the 20th century Deep South, told from four different perspectives: the mentally disabled Benjy Compson, the fragile intellectual Quentin, the vile Jason and his family's old black servant, Dilsey. The film was released in a limited release and through video on demand on October 23, 2015, by New Films International. It is the second film version of the 1929 novel of the same name by William Faulkner (the previous adaptation, directed by Martin Ritt, was released in 1959). The Sound and the Fury is an American drama film directed by James Franco.
