So it seems that Jess is going back to work.

"One of those admirers and pals, PLAGUE TOWN and THEATRE BIZARRE director and Severin Films mastermind David Gregory, ventured to Franco's home in Spain to sit with him, discuss some of his classics and get a sense of where his emotional wellbeing was at.
As it turns out, Franco is thriving and planning to direct two new horror films.
[They] will start shooting next month in Malaga,†Gregory tells FANGORIA, “and I've no idea on budget, but I understand longtime Franco actor/collaborator Antonio Mayans is involved in the productions. They will be titled SISTER VAMPIRE and THE CASE OF THE FRIGHTENED LADY, the latter based on an Edgar Wallace story [Ed. note—Adapted as a film in 1940, THE CASE OF THE FRIGHTENED LADY concerns an aristocratic family and their propensity for murderous deeds].â€
Gregory also shared an audio clip with us, wherein he asks Franco if he ever had planned to stop making movies.
“Never,†said Franco. “The one day I have to stop, life will stop for me. This is the thing I prefer. The death of Lina gave me—instead of letting me die in a corner—it gave me the power to go again.â€
I'll be the first to admit that Franco's recent stuff has done nothing for me, BUT... I'm glad he's still going at it.
I'm also still speculating that the Gregory interviews may have been recorded for some sort of DVD release through Severin... but that's just a guess on my part.
