This is one of those movies that makes you want to see before they are filmed. The project brings together a great director and a great actor. They are Gus Van Sant ("Elephant" and "Last Days) and Sean Penn.
The director is preparing a biopic on Harvey Milk. He is the first declared homosexual to become an army officer in the United States. The character was murdered in strange circumstances on November 27, 1.978.
A name for a key role in the story has yet to be defined: that of Milk's killer. Several names were considered, but the one with the most chance is one of Hollywood's great favorites: Matt Damon.
