NEW DIRECTION: Mark Ruffalo has had his heart broken one too many times.
“Acting to me is like loving a very beautiful woman who doesn’t quite love you back,” he says, explaining why he turned to directing with Sympathy for Delicious, which debuted this week at Sundance.
Written by Ruffalo’s old friend Christopher Thornton — who was paralyzed early on in his acting career — the movie chronicles how a DJ named Delicious copes with life after an accident strands him in a wheelchair.
While Ruffalo will next be seen back in front of the camera in Martin Scorsese’s psychological thriller Shutter Island, he says he is anxious to direct again. “I do know I would like to focus on a career in directing, if I can cobble one together.”
WALKING THE PLANK: The fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie is leaving port without Orlando Bloom. So what’s next? A music career perhaps?
“He has a great voice!” says actress-turned-rocker Juliette Lewis, who co-stars with Bloom in Ruffalo’s Sympathy for Delicious.
“(Rock stars) have a lot of fun,” Bloom says. “I don’t think I’m going to be doing an album anytime soon, but I really enjoyed it. I loved wailing around and having a lot of fun.”
In the black comedy, Bloom and Lewis play goth rockers. And there is a Canadian connection: Do Make Say Think and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, both from the Great White North, are part of Ruffalo’s sonic-scape.
