Mark Ruffalo Set for Sympathy for Delicious

Mark Ruffalo will star and make his directorial debut with Sympathy for Delicious.

According to Variety, Ruffalo will star with James Franco and Chris Thornton.

Thornton, who wrote the script, 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.

Production begins this fall in Los Angeles.

    I thought production did not begin till 2009?? Well it would make sense that it is in the fall this year as I heard he will be attending university in New York next year and this is being filmed in Los Angeles.
    Can you confirm that production is this year and when we should be seeing it in movies?? Very eager to see this film.

    i have my doubts about Mark Ruffalo's directorial skills but the fact that James Franco is in it is quite reassuring - he is very good at playing sentimental roles (Freaks and Geeks/ City by the Sea)
