According to a conversation with Blackbook, Mark Ruffalo is working on his next script for his sophomore directing project.
“I’m working on a script right now,” Ruffalo said. “It’s about a single dad raising a kid in Hollywood on his own. He’s an ex-porn star, ex-street poet, ex-actor, ex-junkie. It is really funny and really poignant, and they have a beautiful relationship between the two of them. It’s good, I think. The big part right now is bringing in the humor of it. Mining for the gold nuggets is the real work.”
Although his directorial debut with Sympathy For Delicious wasn’t received well critically, he’s been working hard on hammering out the script for his sophomore effort. Hopefully, his second release will go smoother. “I learned a lot making [Sympathy]. I made every mistake you can possibly make,” Ruffalo told Vulture about his directing experience to-date.
As an actor, Ruffalo can currently be spotted in the new film The Kids Are All Right along side Julianne Moore and Annette Bening. Check out the Film Stage review here.
