After the success of Taken and Gran Torino, Hollywood has been on a vigilante kick. And right now, Bryan Singer (along with studio execs all over town) has been seriously considering getting his revenge on with The Prisoners, a much-sought-after thriller script to which Mark Wahlberg is attached to star as a Boston dad who takes the law into his own hands when his young daughter is kidnapped. The screenplay, which has been compared to The Silence of the Lambs and Seven, has been buzzed about as a calling card for its unknown writer, Aaron Guzikowski, and as a rare project targeted at adult audiences but with real commercial potential. When asked whether The Prisoners will be his next movie, Singer told EW: 'I don't know yet. But I'm definitely intrigued. It's a great script. And I'd love to work with Mark.' source: EW

James Franco will Write, Direct and Star in ‘The Adderall Diaries’

Variety reports that Franco has optioned the rights to Stephen Elliot’s memoir, ‘The Adderall Diaries: A Memoir of Moods, Maso-chism and Murder.’ Published last year, the tome uses the 2007 murder trial of Hans Reiser to dig into Elliot’s troubled life — how his father may have killed someone, being tormented since his youth, and struggling through substance abuse and an addiction to masochistic sex. The book earned a slew of great press calling it “provocative and masterful”, and an “influence of genius.” (San Francisco Chronicle and Vanity Fair)
