Forgive me for using that old picture, but I needed some stache this morning. Anyway I guess Mark Ruffalo didn't get enough of the DuPont family name when he made Foxcatcher, because today comes word that he's tackling another shady story attached to that legacy -- he's going to star in Todd Haynes' next film (which was at one point called Dry Run but it's not clear if that's still the title) about a lawyer who doggedly pursued the DuPont chemical conglomerate because of their history of environmental pollution. It sounds very Eric Brockovich but with a dude, basically.
This seems like a weird project for Haynes, doesn't it? Last we'd heard, back in May, Todd was going to make a mini-series about Sigmund Freud - no word on that here. And the only thing listed on his IMDb page is his "Untitled Peggy Lee Project" which seems way more in his wheelhouse. A legal drama about pollution would be a new sort of movie for Todd Haynes. Not that I think he's not talented enough to do it or anything. I mean, he'll be fine. To be perfectly honest though I was kind of hoping...

I don't mean to tell Todd Haynes what he should make... he certainly doesn't need my help (big ol understatement)... but I think it might be neat if he made a new movie about gay men that starred gay actors— Jason Adams (@JAMNPP) October 26, 2018
