GUY PEARCE TO GO GAY
IN 'HOLDING THE MAN' MOVIE
According to 'Screen Daily' Guy Pearce, Antony LaPaglia and Kerry Fox will star in the big screen adaptation of HOLDING THE MAN bestselling 
memoirs by Australian writer Timothy Conigrave which won United Nations Human Rights award in the 90's and which was published only a few months after his death. It starts in 1976, when Timothy Conigrave fell in love with the captain of his High School football team. So began a relationship that was to last for 15 years, a love affair that weathered disapproval, separation and, ultimately death. With honesty and insight, HOLDING THE MAN explores the highs and lows of their life partnership: the intimacy, constraints, temptations, and the strength of heart both men had to find when they tested positive to HIV.

ReplyDeleteYou should follow her, I'm sure she will return the favour :)
DeletePride and Prejudices and Zombies. Such a fun title!
ReplyDeletethe zombies were the essential element that was missing from that title before
DeletePoint of Honor (sorry, had to use the American spelling of HONOR since it's the American Civil War and all, LOL), reminds of North & South. That was a pretty amazing mini series!
ReplyDeleteI've corrected it while writing the post because I'm posh British :) but it should probably be without the U since it is US show :)
DeleteHolding the Man really sounds good. It would be interesting to follow that kind of relationship for fifteen years.
