This Will Be Amazing!
Filed under: Gay Gay Gay > Film Flickers > Inspiration
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!

First, too! Wow..
Kelly Clarkson - My December forever
1st I think
1st!! haha suckas (i'm probably not 1st though.)
WONDERFUL?! are you joking?! Gus Van Sant directs pretentious, unexciting schlock.
Don't care for gay movies or actors who are COMMIES! Sean Penn should move to Venuzuela if he likes their commie dictator so much!
wow i gotta google this.
haha
MY PUSSY IS ON FIRE JST THINKING ABOUT IT. FIRST?
THE REAL STORY THAT IS.
PLEASE NOT ANOTHER FAG FILM! BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN WAS MORE THAN ENOUGH. THIS ONE WON'T WIN THE OSCAR EITHER I HOPE.
Sean Penn just has to be great in bed.
first?
first
i fucking love him.
first
PEREZ U FUCKN ROCK
memememe i'm first
Wow, spellcheck much?
So long as it's gay, your for it Perez…Your so lame. Sean Penn sucks. now literally he will.
Re: Twink – Yeah….like TINA
Hay Chuss!!
tengo el GAY!
NOONE FUCKING CARES YOU FATASS
sean could sit and stare at a camera, I would watch it nywy
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.
Hmmm, sounds interesting. I might actually watch it!
I agree with Perez. Sean Penn is an amazing actor.
wow
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
Now THIS is exciting. I can't wait. Harvey Milk is a real part of American History. Whee!
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.
I'll be one of the first people to watch this movie. Pretty fuckin sweet.
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.
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.
Twinkies for everyone!
Hugh , Castros Friend. hmmmm Perez maybe you should think this over, Guy got connection to your DEAD CASTRO. HAHAHAHAHA
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?
He's HOT!!!
I love how your tag from Paint is just: "YES!"
There's no question.
It's just: YES!
Lucas.
go sean!
he's amazing, as an actor and as a human. as usual perez, your taste is right on.
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.
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?
Sean's best acting was done when he was married to Madonna.
Drugstore Cowboy….Good Will Hunting etc…. Great films
FRISCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This one has Loser written all over it!
This guy is a total drunk prick in person. He should get the F**K out of the USA!!
TALENTED OR NOT, THE MAN IS A DOUCHEBAG.
sean penn should leave the country. period.
LOL in your dreams. this has bomb written all over it. Penn cannot open a movie and he is a steaming pile of shit. good actor but a complete druggie. he will die just like his bro of a drug related heart attack.
PEREZ … YOU BRING ENTERTAINMENT TO MY LIFE
… BEST STUDY BREAK IN THE LIBRARY EVER
Sorry who's going to see Sean Penn films these days? He's a pretentious asshole.
yes, this is the infamous 'twinkie defense' story (Dan White claimed he was driven crazy by eating too much sugary food - including twinkies)
Re: jenny – that's also perez's defense for being such a fat greedy pig
Perez you need to find a good pic of the skinny lead singer from Maroon 5. he's kinda cuta and his voice makes me HOT AS FUCK. put up one of their vids pretty please?!?!?!
word to ya mutha.
Perez u better kiss Sean Penn's ass, or he will beat your fat ass like he did the paparazzi's and Madonna's
i've always wanted to fuck sean penn. he gotta gut now though.
eeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww are there gonna be sex scenes?????
somebody pleaze get poor Tina some help ASAP!!!!!
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!
GO MAKE A GAY MOVIE IN VENEZUELA PENN ….. SEE HOW THAT WOULD GO OVER ..NAUUUUUUUGHT
THEY'D PROBABLY HANG YOU ….. HMMMMMMM NOT A BAD IDEA ………
i thought you hated sean penn?????
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.
IF it does get nominated….it wont win. sean penn is annoying!!!
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, Naomi Campbell, & Danny Glover should be banned! What a bunch of idiots! Supporting Chavez!!!
IF it does get nominated…it wont win. sean penn is annoying!!!!
Penn is a great actor, but, he hasn't done anything brilliant since "Hurlyburly" and "The Thin Red Line", both in 1998.
Two words for Mr. Penn…Commie scum! I will never pay to see another one of his movies.
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.
Re: Juana G – Don't forget Kevin Spacey! He went and visited that buffoon Chavez as well.
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!!!!
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.
I have loved Sean Penn forever; i even named my son after him
Does anyone else think he looks like an older McDreamy? That dude from Greys Anatomy.
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…
Hey Las Vegas I love you !!!! Sean Penn is a commie!! I really don't know what the buzz is about Sean Penn . Hes a dork and I don't think he is a great actor…
Oscar? Really? Sure it will….and in addition a monkey will sprout wings and fly out of your ass! But somehow I'm thinking that might be possible??
"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.
Its the whole "the government hurt my daddy, so you will all pay" thing. Poor little rich-boy artist, my heart pukes for him.
See THE LIFE AND TIMES OF HARVEY MILK
Don't bother with this Sean Penn GARBAGE!
SEE THE REAL STORY!!!!!!
Sean Penn is cool in sooooooooooooooooooo many levels!!!! hahaha I'd do him a nanosecond! God1!! B-E-A-Utiful!!!!!!!!!!! hahahaa

DOWN WITH REPRESSION FUCKERS!
It's the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. And Dan White was no longer a Supervisor when he shot Milk and Moscone, While had just tendered his resignation.

Neato.. thats gonna be good! Harvey Milk was such an inspiring figure & that whole story is just so bizarre.. dont forget it invented the 'Twinkie defense'!
amazing blog, i love yer entries
Ew–Sean Penn looks nothing like Harvey Milk! This can't turn out well…
have loved him ever since I Am Sam…. kind of an intense man though
"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!
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!
perez hilton u are a fuckng CUNT
CANT WAIT!!!!
Re: antonio –
and so are you my dear friend antonio, that's why ur daddy fucks u in ur cunt every night.
