Deadline reports that Christian Slater has signed on to the cast of Pamela Romanowsky's THE ADDERALL DIARIES. The actor will join previously announced cast member James Franco on the film.

Franco will portray "a troubled and drug-addicted writer who becomes fascinated by a big murder trial and decides to create a book focusing on the explosive case" while Slater takes on the role of the man suspected of murdering his ex-wife.

Romanowsky penned the script and Vince Jolivette will produce. The movie is set to be filmed in New York.

Slater made his film debut with a small role in The Postman Always Rings Twice before playing a leading role in the 1985 film The Legend of Billie Jean. He then played a monk's apprentice alongside Sean Conneryin The Name of the Rose before gaining wider recognition for his breakthrough role in the cult film Heathers.

In the 1990s, Slater starred in many big budget films, including Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles, Broken Arrow, and Hard Rain. He was also featured in the cult film True Romance. Since 2000, Slater has combined work in the film business with television, including appearances in The West Wing and Alias and starring in Breaking In and Mind Games.
