James Franco has proven himself recently as a force to be reckoned with. His immense talent reflects with every role he plays as he takes on a variety of parts and genres. The man has so many projects in the works at the moment, and it causes me, personally, to wonder when he even has a minute to himself. Regardless, he never seems to show any exhaustion as he goes from one character to the next which is pretty remarkable.

One project that I'm looking forward to seeing myself would be Maladies. Directed by the artist named Carter (much like Madonna only needs her one name), Franco plays a young and talented actor named James who decides to retire from his soap opera career to pursue a career in writing, all the while battling a seemingly developing mental illness. Moving back to a small town where he lives with his oddball sister Patricia (Fallon Goodson) and best friend Catherine (Catherine Keener), the craziness of the three unfolds as their estranged lives intertwine with one another.

Maladies has limited opening on March 21 and will be available nationwide on VOD and iTunes March 25.
