The always-busy Mark Ruffalo (“Reservation Road”, “Zodiac”) will make his directorial debut with “Sympathy for Delicious”, according to Variety.
The film, which Ruffalo will star in opposite James Franco (“Spider-Man”) and Chris Thornton, who also wrote the script.
Thornton plays “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.
