Mark Ruffalo

Zodiac and Reservation Road star Mark Ruffalo can add director to his lengthy resume when he makes his debut behind the camera this fall.

According to 'Variety', Ruffalo will direct Sympathy for Delicious, starring James Franco (Spider-Man, Pineapple Express) and Chris Thornton, who also penned the flick.

The story follows a wheelchair-bound ex-DJ, "Delicious" Dean O'Dwyer, who inexplicably acquires the ability to cure the sick, but not himself, while investigating faith-healing practices.

Franco will appear as an opportunistic rock star looking to take advantage of the suddenly-famous healer and Ruffalo will be working double duty, starring as a Jesuit priest trying to help "Delicious" come to terms with his new gift.

Production is slated to begin this fall in Los Angeles.
