Preview Sean Penn in the Trailer for Milk

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: FOCUS, Drama, Period, Political, Trailers, Upcoming Releases

Last month, we told you about Milk, a biopic about the first openly gay man elected into a public office.

Now we’re getting our first chance to see Sean Penn as Harvey Milk in this feature from Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting).

Based on those 2.5 minutes, I’m going to make an early prediction and utter the words “Oscar nomination” for Penn.

Milk - also starring Josh Brolin, Diego Luna, James Franco and Emile Hirsch - opens this November 28.

James Franco Talks About Kissing Sean Penn

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: FOCUS, Drama, Celeb News, Upcoming Releases

UPDATE: You can see James Franco detailing his experience with Sean Penn after the jump.

Since so much was made about Scarlett kissing Penelope in Vicky Cristina Barcelona, why don’t we turn the tables for a bit? Later this year, we’ll get to see Sean Penn and James Franco sharing a few lip locks of their own.

In Milk, Sean stars as real-life politician Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man to be elected into a public office. (San Francisco’s city supervisor was later assassinated in 1978.) James plays Scott Smith, one of Milk’s boyfriends.
