Mark Ruffalo is taking that next step in his career by making his feature directing debut with Sympathy for Delicious, a film that he will star in alongside James Franco and Chris Thornton.
Mark Ruffalo to Direct Sympathy for Delicious
It would seem that the production's crew is also its cast. While Ruffalo gets in front of and behind the camera, it was Chris Thornton who wrote the script.
Sympathy for Delicious stars Thornton as "Delicious" Dean O'Dwyer, a paralyzed DJ struggling to survive in his wheelchair on the streets of L.A. He turns to faith-healing and mysteriously acquires the ability to cure the sick -- although not himself. Ruffalo plays a Jesuit priest who tries to help him come to terms with the limits of his gift, and Franco a rock singer in a band that exploits the suddenly famous healer.
The production will begin this fall in Los Angeles.
