Actor, writer, director and “bike phantom” James Franco appeared in a viral ad for Motorola’s new Droid Turbo this week, in which “The Interview” star rides out of the darkness on a bike to snap a quick picture of some fans before disappearing into the night.

The ad, which Franco posted to his Twitter account with the hashtag #FrancoFast, is meant to show off the unreleased smartphone’s speedy 21-megapixel camera and quad HD resolution.
Motorola and Verizon officially announced the new ballistic nylon-coated addition to the Droid lineup Tuesday after months of leaks and rumors. The Turbo’s 5.2-inch display, 2.7 GHz quad core Snapdragon 805 processor, 3 gigs of RAM and 48-hour battery will replace last year’s Droid Ultra starting Oct. 30 for $199 (32 gig) and $249 (64 gig).
The phone also includes the new Turbo charger, which supplies 8-hours of battery life in just 15 minutes. Droid Turbo comes preloaded with Android 4.4 KitKat software, but will be upgraded to Lollipop 5.0 after release. Launch colors include metallic red, metallic black and ballistic black.
