Maladies (film)
''Maladies'' is a 2012 film starring James Franco and written and directed by Carter. This was the pair's second collaboration, after ''Erased James Franco''. Production Franco plays a character who was an actor in a soap opera prior to the events in the film. The character's history led the director Carter to encourage Franco to acquire a role in a soap opera in real life. Franco took the advice and was able to land a role on '' General Hospital'' playing the eponymous character Franco, an artist and serial killer. In interviews, Carter and Franco have explained the decision as an attempt to help Franco understand his character in Maladies, as part of a series of performance art pieces accompanying the film's release, as a joke, and as some combination of all those things. Franco would ultimately use a great deal of the ''General Hospital'' footage as part of another experimental film, ''Francophenia''.
