Ruffalo is set to feature in a crime drama series on HBO, crafted by the brilliant mind behind ‘Mare of Easttown’, Brad Ingelsby. The yet-to-be-titled drama, tentatively known as ‘Task,’ delves into the intricate world of a task force comprising law enforcement officers and the criminals they relentlessly pursue.

In pre-production for many years now, ‘Newsflash,’ starring Ruffalo along with Chris Pine, is a biographical drama about the assassination of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas. While Chris Pine will play iconic CBS newsman Walter Cronkite, Ruffalo will play the role of Cronkite’s producer Don Hewitt. As per the latest reports, the film will be directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon based on a script that has been written by Ben Jacoby. How the duo addressed the news and the truth behind it while their boss Jim Aubrey (we do not who will play this role) was bent on more sensational stuff that would appeal to the American audience is what we will see in the film. In other words, it will show us the assassination from inside the rooms of the CBS network. Further updates about the production and release date are eagerly awaited.
