Without giving too much away, here's a brief synopsis of what I think will be the new (and improved) Brokeback Mountain...
"While living in New York City, Harvey Milk celebrates his 40th birthday. Anxious to find more purpose in their lives, he and his lover Scott Smith move to San Francisco, where they open a camera store in the heart of the city's predominantly gay neighborhood known as The Castro. Milk becomes a spokesperson for equal rights for all and, while finding support among people from all backgrounds, he becomes a mentor to aspiring activist Cleve Jones. His political ambitions ultimately consume his life and destroy his relationship with Smith.
Milk is a 2008 American biographical film directed by Gus Van Sant. The screenplay by Dustin Lance Black focuses on the later life, political career, and murder of San Francisco city supervisor/gay rights activist Harvey Milk." (Wikipedia.com)
Thoughts on this? Do you think Penn will do the Milk character justice?
