Just a few days after James Franco's questionable Instagram texts with a 17-year-old girl leaked onto Imgur, the first trailer for 'Palo Alto' was released. The film is based on a short story collection of the same name written by Franco. It includes a coming-of-age tale, in which Emma Roberts plays a shy girl named April who becomes romantically entangled with her soccer coach, Mr. B (Franco), while dancing around her feelings for a stoner kid her age named Teddy (Jack Kilmer).

In other words, that whole Franco Instagram scandal was (almost definitely) just a promo stunt for the movie. Watch the trailer below. 'Palo Alto' was directed by Gia Coppola and opens in select theaters May 9.
