Ruffalo’s Helming Debut Finds a Home at Maya

Maya Entertainment has acquired U.S. rights to “Sympathy for Delicious,” Mark Ruffalo’s directorial debut, and plans to release the pic this spring. Ruffalo, Juliette Lewis, Orlando Bloom and Laura Linney star in “Sympathy,” which won a Special Jury Prize for Directing at Sundance. “Sympathy” is written by Christopher Thornton, who also stars in and produced the project. It follows the true story of a newly paralyzed DJ who gets more than he bargained for when he seeks out the world of faith healing — and is based on Thornton’s real-life experiences. The film was produced by Corner Store Entertainment’s Scott Prisand, Matt Weaver and Andrea Sperling, along with Ruffalo and Thornton.
