Milk

Dec 03, 2008 23:52

I read a transcript of Gus Van Sant's Milk press conference that I saw posted on ONTD today. This is really interesting. I'm not going to past here some of the highly intelligent things that Sean Penn said because I don't want to get too political here but that's really worth it.

Having Sean Penn and Madonna's marriage listed in my interests in my profile page, I felt like I had to quote this very funny words from Sean Penn and Gus Vant Sant :

GUS VAN SANT : Harris Savides, our Director of Photography. We've shot a number of things. I first heard about him doing a commercial. The persons that were putting the commercial together were looking for a DP, which is such a crucial thing. They had shot with Harris in Europe, and they showed me the commercial and it looked pretty good. And then the clincher was that they said Madonna wouldn't work with anyone else. She needed Harris. And I thought, well, she must be pretty discerning, and I kind of had the Madonna thing: “I got to use Madonna's DP.”

SEAN PENN : And her ex-husband.

[Laughter]

Voice: Her film is not nearly as good as yours.

SEAN PENN : Whoa…

Anyway, you can read the whole transcript here : (Gus Van Sant, Sean Penn, James Franco, Emile Hirsch, Josh Brolin and Dustin Lance Black were there)

I think you understood I cannot wait for this film to come out ?! I feel fascinated for some reasons.

And I've also developped a crush on the screenwriter, Dustin Lance Black.
