Hoping to find clarity and new purpose as a writer, he holes up with his eccentric sister (Fallon Goodson) at the seaside home of their best friend (Catherine Keener). But as he disappears further into his own mind, reality begins to slip through his grasp. Featuring an award-winning ensemble, including David Strathairn and Alan Cumming, &#8216;Maladies&#8217; is a heartfelt but defiantly unconventional exploration of the creative mind.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Written by: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/author\/karen\/\">Karen Benardello<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/James-Franco-Searching-For-Creative-Side-in-Maladies-Film-Release.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/James-Franco-Searching-For-Creative-Side-in-Maladies-Film-Release.png\" alt=\"James Franco Searching For Creative Side in Maladies Film Release\" width=\"600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-140346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/James-Franco-Searching-For-Creative-Side-in-Maladies-Film-Release.png 621w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/James-Franco-Searching-For-Creative-Side-in-Maladies-Film-Release-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 621px) 100vw, 621px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James Franco is exploring his creative side in the upcoming film &#8216;Maladies,&#8217; which is set to be released in select theaters and On Demand this month.
