Gus van Sant的新片Milk要招群众演员。湾区的文艺青年要积极响应哦

==================================
Sean Penn and James Franco, who will play gay lovers in a new film, gave some thought to moving in together, I'm told.
Whaaa?
Relax, it's just for a movie. The two are currently filming Milk, Gus Van Sant’s biopic about Harvey Milk (Penn), the trailblazing, openly gay San Francisco city supervisor who was assassinated not long after being elected to office in 1977. Franco plays Scott Smith, one of Milk’s lovers and his campaign manager.
I’m told Penn and Franco wanted to live together for a time before filming began in the Bay Area. My sources reported they were looking to shack up in an apartment similar to one the real-life partners lived in after moving to San Fran from New York City.
“They talked a lot about doing that, but schedules prevented it,” a source told me.
Milk, known as the Mayor of Castro Street and the first openly gay elected official in California, and Mayor George Moscone were gunned down by fellow city supervisor Dan White Nov. 27, 1978. White's lawyers claimed he was incapable of premeditating the shooting because recent changes in his diet had biologically altered his thinking. Though the tactic was dubbed the "Twinkie defense" by the press, White was convicted of the lesser charge of manslaughter, not murder. He later committed suicide.
Van Sant’s flick for Focus Features recently started shooting in San Francisco, and includes location scenes in Milk's camera store.
Other cast includes Josh Brolin as White and Emile Hirsch and Diego Luna as two of Milk’s other lovers. It’s set for release sometime next year.
[转帖]Penn and Franco: Roommates?
再来一遍
年初的时候Gus van Sant来三藩拍传记片Milk,需要Castro街作实景,于是半条街时光倒流了三十年。街口的Diesel挂上了BoA的牌子,Milk工作过的相机店也整个腾了出来。有一场游行的戏说是要群众演员,哗啦就报满了,剧组措手不及,只好向没报上名的连声道歉。
实拍的那天和几个朋友去了现场。气氛很热烈,好多行人也一并加入队伍中去。其实游行队伍的大部分都不会出现在影片里:真正需要的镜头,剧组一早雇了专业龙套走在前头。灯光很亮,天气很冷,Castro街边特意停了一溜老爷车,加油站的油价是6毛3。
Milk本来定在明年上映,不知何故突然改到年底。要改,其实应改到11月4号普选前,对Prop 8之战也有帮助。10月28号Castro Theatre有一场首映,我一看到片花,突然想起此事。待电话过去时,waiting list早已排到月球上,又兼要价250刀,只好悻悻然作罢。
Who Killed Harvey Milk?
