A trailer for James Franco's latest film about a gay S&M scene cut from 80s thriller 'Cruising' is out and sees the Oscar nominee play an actor forced to explore the limits of his sexuality.

'Interior. Leather Bar' is inspired by the 40 minutes of footage which director William Friedkin was forced to drop from the Al Pacino movie to avoid receiving an X rating for its cinema release.

The film, which is part of the Sundance Film Festival's official selection, is a world away from Franco's part in upcoming Disney fantasy 'Oz: The Great and Powerful'.

A 22-year-old gay man was raped after cruising in a park in Copenhagen, Denmark, yesterday morning (2 August).

The victim said he had flirted with one of the two alleged offenders and had agreed to have sex with him in the H C Ørstedsparken park before the assault. The site is well known as a popular cruising ground for gay men in the Danish capital.

However, the men became violent and tried to strangle the victim, ripping off his pants and raping him, Homotropolis reports.
