Julianne_Moore_107541 The cast of ensemble comedy The Kids Are All Right has been livened up with fresh meat in the forms of Annette Bening, Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo, Josh Hutcherson and Mia Wasikowska.

The film will revolve around a brother and sister (played by Hutcherson and Wasikowska) who set out to find their same-sex parents’ sperm donor (played by Ruffalo). However, the family dynamic is upset when he enters their lives.

Bening and Moore play the parents.

The project has already started shooting with Lisa Cholodenko occupying the seat of the director. It was written by Cholodenko and Stuart Bloomberg.

Actor Mark Ruffalo’s directorial debut Sympathy for Delicious appears to have come back from the dead after the project went to oblivion after the death of Ruffalo’s brother and the film’s tar James Franco having to depart due to other commitments.

Reports indicate that Orlando Bloom is set to take over the lead from Franco, with Laura Linney having won the female lead role.

The film will follow a paralyzed DJ who is struggling to survive on the streets of LA. He turns to faith healing and mysteriously develops the ability to cure everyone who is sick – except for himself. The DJ then decides to cash in on his gift in exchange for his rock n’ roll dreams.

Production begins next week in LA.

Variety and Hollywood Reporter speak favorable of this movie, What Doesn’t Kill You, starring Mark Ruffalo and Ethan Hawke.  Brian Goodman’s directorial debut movie was well-received at Toronto as well, and now is looking at coming to theaters late this year.

 

 

 

It’s great to see Marks k Ruffalo, Adrien Brody and Rachel Weisz in a really good comedy.  It might be predictable but it looks like a lot of fun.  The Brothers Bloom trailer — enjoy!

Actor Mark Ruffalo makes his feature directing debut on Sympathy for Delicious.

Ruffalo is set to also star with James Franco and Chris Thornton. Production begins this fall in Los Angeles.

Thornton wrote the script and he plays 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 yet 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.
