We normally try and stay away from posting photos for the sake of posting photos, but after having read the Dustin Lance Black script for Gus Van Sant‘s biopic of the Harvey Milk story, “Milk,” and having just rewatched the excellent 1984 documentary, “The Times of Harvey Milk,” we must say we’re rather excited for the release of this film.
We have a bunch of great new “Milk” photos including shots of Sean Penn as Harvey Milk, Diego Luna as his fey and jealous latino boyfriend Jack Lira (you gotta love the hair, it’s almost as funny as what the real Lira looked like), the first ever shots of Alison Pill as Milk’s lesbian campaign manager Anne Kronenberg and more shots of Emile Hirsch as Milk’s faithful supporter Cleve Jones, James Franco as his ex-boyfriend Scott Smith and Josh Brolin as his rival and eventual unhinged assassin, Dan White (goddamn, the Twinkie defense).
“Milk” comes out in limited release on November 26 and then expands on
December 5 and wider on December 12. We can’t wait.
We also just received an early script review. Stay tuned.
