James Franco Buys ‘The Adderall Diaries’<\/h1>\n

By\u00a0MIKE FLEMING<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>EXCLUSIVE<\/strong>:\u00a0127 Hours<\/em>\u00a0star James Franco has acquired Stephen Elliott’s\u00a0The Adderall Diaries,<\/em>which he intends to adapt, direct and star in. The memoir starts off a bit like\u00a0In Cold Blood<\/em>, in that a blocked writer turns to a murder trial to get himself going. Elliott, blocked for two years, reports on the trial of Hans Reiser, a computer programmer charged with killing the wife he met through a Russian dating service. Fueled by Adderall, a methamphetamine prescribed to help ADHD sufferers, Elliott’s stream of consciousness prose veers into subjects that include his cruel father, Paris Hilton, and S&M.<\/p>\n

Franco takes on this challenge at a time when he is cutting a wide swath as an actor and director. He’ll figure prominently in the Best Actor race for his portrayal as Aron Ralston in the Danny Boyle-directed\u00a0127 Hours<\/em>, and he’s currently starring in Fox’s big budget Planet of the Apes prequel\u00a0Rise of the Apes,<\/em>\u00a0which Fox releases June 24, 2011. He plays Allen Ginsburg in\u00a0Howl<\/em>, and completed a role in General Hospital as the evil performance artist Franco.<\/p>\n
