This Will Be Amazing!

Sean Penn, one of the best actors of his generation, is going to play gay political icon Harvey Milk in a new movie directed by the wonderful Gus Van Sant, Focus Features announced on film.

Often referred to as the "Mayor of Castro Street," was the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in America. In 1977, he was voted to the supervisors’ board of San Francisco.

His life was cut tragically short when the following year homophobic fellow supervisor Dan White brutally murdered both Milk and then city mayor George Moscone.

Van Sant and Penn's Milk begins production in January.

This has Oscar contender for 2009 written all over it!

      Sean Penn is a liberal cock sucking TRAITOR. This is the fuckface who met with communist dictator Hugo Chavez. He should be put in jail.

      It's asinine to call this an Oscar contender when the damn thing hasn't begun filming but then again . . .
      straight actor + gay role = oscar nomination

      Yum, I wouldnt mind licking that lollipop. Sean Penn is sexyyy sexyyy. and a great actor but sexy 1st..lick lick

      31

      Now THIS is exciting. I can't wait. Harvey Milk is a real part of American History. Whee!

    32. Bertie says – reply to this


      32

      Stop being a drama queen fag Perez. When are you going to realize that all things gay need not be singled out. Being a person 1st is what's important. You're sexuality, whither you are straight or fag, is minor to ones personality.

      And if you go by your personality, you're a fucking cunt.

    33. Courtney Smith says – reply to this


      33

      I'll be one of the first people to watch this movie. Pretty fuckin sweet.

    34. goofus gallant says – reply to this


      34

      p.s. this is not a love story, it's HISTORY. I know it's hard to remember more than what happened since the guards fed you, but try.

    35. Hyde says – reply to this


      35

      Just because he's playing a gay man doesn't necessarily mean he's "one of the best actors of his generation". He's a tardbucket who can't act his way out of a paperbag.

      38

      This has Oscar contender for 2009 written all over it??? Why because he is playing a gay man? Well maybe, the Oscars are getting more and more politically bias when it comes to giving awards. And yes I am gay. Also hate hate hate Penn. Please ship him to Venezuela ASAP! Phoney pile of shit. What, never seen a left wing fag before?

      43

      Perez, you're talking about probably one of the worst actors in history… sean penn has made BOMB after BOMB… absurd performances… Don't buy into the hype that Sean Penn is Sir Lawrence Olivier… puh-leese.

    44. ms wonderland says – reply to this


      44

      hmm im from San Francisco…would be great to see the history on film but, Gus Van Sant is a horrid director. Very slow, very boring….somepeople take what he does as extremely creative…i feel that they are all high on amphetamines…..he is seriously horrible. Last Days, anyone?

      I can't believe that was almost 30 years ago. Living in SF, I remember the news reports, but didn't really understand what had happened. I was 9, and hadn't quite come "out" yet, although I was "playing" with other little boys!

      66

      The single biggest piece of shit American this country has ever seen. The man is a hypocrite beyond words. He uses the media, he uses his fans, and he takes advantage of the freedoms and opportunity that this country affords him to gain advantage and exploit the weak. He should be exiled to Canada. Fuck Sean Penn.

      This story was already done for Showtime - EXECUTION OF JUSTICE , based on the play by Emily Mann. Showtime should re-release it and play the crap out of it so this stink bomb of a vehicle for Sean Penn to get an Oscar goes away!!!

      Penn is a great actor, but, he hasn't done anything brilliant since "Hurlyburly" and "The Thin Red Line", both in 1998.

    72. Sickofitall says – reply to this


      72

      Two words for Mr. Penn…Commie scum! I will never pay to see another one of his movies.

    73. bpenn says – reply to this


      73

      Perez, you yourself called Hugo Chavez an "opressor." Why are you exalting Sean Penn when he went and broke bread with that communist dictator? He has talent as an actor, but you being Latino are probably aquainted with more than one person whose livelihood and family have been torn apart by that dictatorial theif Chavez. I hope Hugo Chavez dies very very soon. Pat Robertson and I are going to take a field trip to Caracas and take his ass down. After I stab Chavez in the neck with my lipliner pencil Pat will pee on his face, and I will take a picture and send it to you first Perez, and you will have the exclusive.

      It is the other way around I think. He killed the Mayor and then Milk. Pretty sure. Everyone should see this movie when it comes out!!!!

    76. meltz911 says – reply to this


      76

      PS I agree with all of you as far as his "politics" He is a traitor to his country. Although, his dad was blacklisted in the McCarthy era as a commie, this might explain his hatred.

      Sean Penn isn't qualified to play a person like Harvey Milk he would be more suited to playing the jerk that shot he and Mayor Mosconi, He;s a one demential actor any way. Perez my Dahling, you should get that part.

      I LOVE that all your readers see that traitor for what he is! Sean Penn is trash! He sucks as an actor and doesn't have an intelligent cell in his body. This movie will bomb! Wait and see…. wait and see…

      "This has Oscar contender for 2009 written all over it!"

      What, because it is about some low level govt drone who is a fag? I predict another box office bomb. Only winner in this movie will be that scumbag Penn who will get paid a pile of cash and the investor's will lose their ass.

      "Twinkie" Dan White was there to kill the mayor not Harvey Milk who was at the wrong place at the wrong time. No homophobe murder here! Spin the truth, Perez!

    97. Joey says – reply to this


      97

      Putting your feelings for Perez or Penn aside, the story of Harvey Milk is fascinating and should be given a chance no matter which way it is advertised.

      And don't your Perez haters realize that by visiting this site you are making him rich, if you hate him so much, DON"T READ!
