James Franco will reunite with 'Pineapple Express' director David Gordon Green for a new movie.

The 'Milk' actor is set to star in medieval comedy 'Your Highness', which follows two arrogant princes and their battle against an evil wizard who has kidnapped their father and the older prince's fiancé.

James will play the heroic older brother, while Danny McBride is set to star as the younger, lazier sibling.

The script for the movie - allegedly inspired by 80s fantasy films such as 'Krull' and 'The Sword and the Sorcerer' - has been penned by Danny and Ben Best.

Filming on the Scott Stuber-produced project is set to begin in Dublin this July.

Danny will also act as executive producer on the movie.
