After all the hype surrounding the upcoming King Cobra movie, we're finally getting a snippet from Entertainment Weekly featuring stars Christian Slater and Disney twink Garrett Clayton.

Here's what EW has to say about the movie: Via EW
In director Justin Kelly’s inspired-by-real-events drama King Cobra, Garrett Clayton portrays gay porn actor Sean Paul Lockhart, whose career has been shepherded by Christian Slater’s producer. When Lockhart decides he’d be better off as a free agent, a pair of rival producers (James Franco, Keegan Allen) aim to cash in by any means possible.
The real life Brent Corrigan (real name Sean Paul Lockhart) has already spoken out against the casting of Clayton as his on-screen character. Corrigan was 17 at the time that he started his porn career at the hands of Kocis, and was at the center of the murdering of the Cobra Video founder.

Oh, and if you've been wondering whatever happened to Alicia Silverstone since she put the nail in her career's coffin with Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, you'll be happy to know that she also stars in this movie!
