Nick Jonas to Star in James Franco’s Frat Hazing Film Goat

According to The Wrap, Nick Jonas and Pride lead Ben Schnetzer are close to singing deals to star in Goat, an adaptation of Brad Land's 2004 memoir of the same name.

Andrew Neel will direct the flick for Killer Films and James Franco's Rabbit Bandini Productions.

Schnetzer will play 19-year-old Brad Land. After being assaulted by two hitchhikers, a scarred Brad decides to enroll in college with his much more charismatic younger brother Brett (Jonas) and pledge the same fraternity.

What ensues--all in the name of "brotherhood"--is a gauntlet of late night hazing, estrangement, and tragedy.

No release date has been announced for the picture. But we'll be ready.
