Mark Ruffalo Pulls Out Of Movie

Mark Ruffalo is pulling out of his next planned project, a movie with indie filmmaker Noah Baumbach.

Greenburg centers on the intimacy of human relationships, much like Baumbach’s The Squid and the Whale. Ben Stiller is expected to fill in for Ruffalo.

No reason was named for Ruffalo’s departure, although we can pretty much be certain that it has to do with the sudden tragic death of his brother, Scott.
