Most Anticipated Next Film

I saw V for Vendetta yesterday!

It was so much fun! AND there was surprisingly a lot of gay themes that were dealt with.

Did anyone see this movie as well?  What did you think of the gay themes?

[brokebacktom]

I just seen V for Vandetta. Its good. BUt I found it too stylized.  THe message is about fighting back and be not afraid. A good one that represent the times we are living.

Also looking forward to Mira Nair's The Namesake. It has a stellar cast - a couple of Indian actors I've been a fan of for a long time.....Plus the author is a Pulitzer Prize winner.

So has anyone heard any buzz on the next Truman Capote movie coming out - 'Infamous' with Sandra Bullock and Toby Jones?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0420609/

I would imagine they'll push it back a bit for release with  'Capote' out on DVD now.  I haven't heard anything about when it's coming out.  It's already shown in New York and L.A. (probably for festivals) but I've heard nothing about it yet.

I feel kind of bad for the actor playing Capote - Won't everybody compare him to PSH?

[Lola]

Yea it seems kind of bizzare they would even put out another film out on that so soon!

I am anticipating the release of Summer Storm here.

It's great!!!  Really sweet and touching - and lots of cute geman boys.  I saw it last year at the film festival here in SF.  It had good music in it too, as I recall (can't guarantee that - film festival movies often don't have rights yet, so they can change before coming out commercially).

One note though - it is a teen coming out movie.  I just point that out because one of the comments you hear at the gay film festivals is that this story has been done a lot.

Hey Lola!

Yeah, well they just had the bad luck of working on it at the same time as Capote was being worked on - I read about this film in an airport (the only time I read USA Today  ) just when Capote was being released.

Who knows...it could be good...but like you and Radha I kind of feel sorry for them - it can't but suffer in comparison with 'Capote'.  But it will be interesting to Sandra Bullock as Harper Lee.  I hope they flesh her role out a bit in this.

[Lola]

Yes Harper Lee didn't have much of part in the other movie, I would liked to have known alot more about her charcter.   Catherine Keener didn't have much to do, I think I saw more of her in the 40 year old Virgin! lol

I loved her and PHS together though.

I thought they were really great together too - and at the risk of having screaming hoards come after me, I've really liked some of the other roles PSH has been in too - did you by any chance see him as the incredibly creepy Allen in Todd Solondz's 'Happiness'?  He was so good - the character is a real piece of work and he just made my skin crawl every time he was on the screen - brilliant acting.

And Dan Futterman (the writer of Capote) who was on 'Judging Amy' for a long time was in a movie 'Urbania' as a gay character - I've never seen it, but have always found him cute and sort of wanted to - has anyone else out there seen this?

Catherine Keener is brilliant - she's one of those actresses that molds herself entirely to a role - the kind that you say 'oh my god, that was Catherine Keener' when you walk out of the film.  So it was a real treat to see her and PSH on the screen together.

[Lola]

Exactly, I didn't even know that was her in the movie.

I have never seen that PSH movie you mentioned.     I think I first noticed him in Talented Mr. Ripley (one of my favourites) I loved his voice and he was kind of sexy in a big burly kind of way.

Since then I have seen pretty much everything he has been in, but I think Capote was his crowning glory.

Okay...just saw these in the paper today.  One is the new film based on the (recently proved fake) book by JT Leroy 'The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things'.  This and the next are both guilty pleasures.  The book was written by a 39 year old middle class woman who passed herself off as a 20 something kid who is an HIV positive male ex-prostitute.  Reprehensible in some ways, but a brilliant act of fiction in others (especially since she pulled the wool over the eyes of people like Dennis Cooper and Dave Eggers).  And it has Marilyn Manson in it - he was very good in 'Party Monster' so I'm interested in seeing how he does here.  Here's a review from todays Chronicle:

Then the other one is the purported bio-pic on Brian Jones life.  Just read the review by Joel Selvin (S.F. Chronicle veteran rock reporter) - it sounds too good to miss:

Can't say that this is highly anticipated by me, (because I know nothing of it besides the following) having just read this:

Woody H. is gay in Walker
By M&C News Mar 24, 2006, 9:12 GMT 
 
 
 
Looks like Woody Harrelson will stay in London for awhile longer.

Harrelson who is in London finishing up his stage run in "The Night of the Iguana", has just signed to join Lauren Bacall, Ned Beatty, Willem Dafoe, Lily Tomlin and Kristin Scott Thomas in Paul Schrader's ('Taxi Driver') new movie 'The Walker'.

'The Walker' written and directed by Schrader will be filmed in London.

Harrelson will play an aging escort of society women who just happens to be gay. In describing Harrelson's character, Schrader reportedly told 'Variety', "He's this society walker who has his lady friends, and a boyfriend on the side."

First thought -- hope sweet, dear Ms. Bacall can hold herself together better than she did at the Oscars.
