The project will mark the first time that the actor, best known for playing the cute love-interest in romantic comedies like "13 Going On 30" and "Just Like Heaven," will take the director's chair.

Written by Chris Thornton, "Delicious" is the story of a paralyzed DJ named Delicious who discovers he has the power to heal the sick – with his own injury a notable exception. Ruffalo will play a Jesuit priest who helps Delicious come to terms with his ability, while James Franco plays a rock musician out to exploit the DJ/healer. Production will begin this fall in
