The script for 'Michael' is based on a 2011 New York Times Magazine article that follows Glatze as a Bible college student in Wyoming after leaving his post at the formerly popular gay youth publication, XY Magazine. Actor James Franco posted a photo of himself on his Instagram account Sunday dressed in character as Michael Glatze during the first day of filming 'Michael,' a movie about Glatze's transition from homosexual magazine editor to married, heterosexual Christian pastor.
