How Ruff is Too Ruff

.
You can just forgive me right now right here upfront for forgetting that this was happening given every day now feels like a year and I first reported this news back in October of 2018 and then never heard another word about it until today -- Mark Ruffalo is playing twins for Blue Valentine director Derek Cianfrance in a limited series for HBO called I Know This Much Is True! That's pretty cool in itself.

But the rest of the cast is quite the read-out of lady names -- Kathryn Hahn, Melissa Leo, Juliette Lewis, Rosie O’Donnell, Archie Panjabi, and Imogen Poots! Wowza. All we know story-wise -- unless you've read the book it's based on, which I have not -- is it's an epic story following twin brothers through "betrayal, sacrifice and forgiveness set against the backdrop of 20th century America." Which is fairly generic. Watch this teaser for more of a feel then:

I Know This Much Is True is out on April 27th.

I just watched John Turturro tell a story about his brother at the moth. Worth listening to. I don't know if The Jesus Rolls explores this experience or not but either way these two films look great. Double Ruffalo is always ok by me.
