What's Twilight director's Catherine Hardwicke's next literary film adaptation?

Shakespeare!

Hardwicke is reuniting with Lords of Dogtown star Emile Hirsch to "create a modern-day supernatural thriller based on Hamlet."

Hardwicke says she never expected to be adapting Shakespeare and admitted that the task is daunting, but assures everyone that "You will understand everything without having a copy of Shakespeare for Dummies with you."

Somehow….and we're going out on a limb here….we don't think this film will be anywhere near as successful as Twilight.

Just a small hunch!

It was a typically windy day in San Francisco for the world premiere of Gus Van Sant's new film, Milk, on Tuesday night.

The movie - which recounts the life of California's first openly gay elected official, Harvey Milk - screened at the legendary Castro Theatre, amid a crowd of No On Prop 8 supporters.

Milk stars Sean Penn, Emile Hirsch, and Diego Luna were in attendance, braving the blustery conditions.

We're so excited to see this film!

A Gay Rights activist, Harvey Milk was such an important figure. He was the first openly gay man elected to a public office in the United States. He served on San Francisco's Board of Supervisors until he was tragically assassinated in 1978. Only a decade before, Martin Luther King, Jr., also a prominent leader for Civil Rights, was assassinated.

Kind of makes you think, huh?
