Opening Friday in limited release and VOD is the feature debut from writer-director Pamela Romanowsky, The Adderall Diaries. Based on the bestselling memoir by Stephen Elliott, the film stars James Franco as a has-been author whose fascination with a high-profile murder case leads him to his own troubled past. When Stephen uses his new-found obsession with the case to avoid his personal troubles, he finds it unexpectedly brings him romance with the trial reporter Lana Edmond (Amber Heard) while forcing him to confront old issues with his abusive father (Ed Harris). The film also stars Christian Slater, Cynthia Nixon, Jim Parrack and Wilmer Valderrama.
