Harvey Milk film to start shooting, you should pardon the expression
The Sean Penn film about the career and assassination of Harvey Milk — which earlier advertised for extras who could pass for 1970s residents of the Castro — will start shooting this week — or “lensing,” to use the Daily Variety term.
Penn will play the martyred city supervisor, and Josh Brolin — not Matt Damon as previously reported — will play the assassin Dan White. Curiously, Brolin is also up for the title role in an Oliver Stone film about George Bush.
SFist had a report earlier today on the production.
That headline is inappropriate and not funny.
What I meant was that the film, directed by well-known and right-on gay director Gus Van Sant, will fire weapons of righteousness in the cause of queer revolution, and battle the forces of homophobia by exploding stereotypes and … you know.
That headline made me laugh. Hee!
The headline is innapropriately hilarious!!!
