That's right, Dave Franco's older brother James has a cameo... sort of. The first few minutes of Nerve take place largely on Roberts' computer as she learns about the game, and as she's browsing the web, she comes across a web link that asks, "Is James Franco Too Smart?"

It appears on the screen for just a few seconds, but it's a fun little nod at Dave's brother, while unobtrusive enough that you could easily miss it considering how much is happening on-screen at the time.

Don't be surprised if fans unearth a bunch more Easter eggs like this once the movie is out on home video.
