Franco, Hirsch, and Penn get retrofied on Milk shoot

 

More pics have popped up on the Net of the in-progress filming of Gus van Sant's Harvey Milk biopic (gotta love crowd scenes with lots of shutterbug opps), including first pics of James Franco (who plays Scott Smith, lover to Sean Penn's Milk) and Emile Hirsch (who plays activist Cleve Jones). Lots more pics over on this flikr site, and likely oodles more to come.

Check's out Brian's link. The Castro has come alive

The Castro looks amazing as does hunky James Franco. I am a little distracted by Sean Penn looking more and more like Pete Townshend from The Who as well as Emile Hirsh, who to me is resembling the secret love child of Fran Leibowitz and Velma from Scooby Doo.

Both Penn and Hirsh are amazing actors (both robbed of Oscar nominations for Best Director and Actor, respectively for Into The Wild) so I hope that they can act around their "looks." Sometimes when portraying people who have been seen in the public eye, there can be such a thing as trying too hard to capture a look when the essence is really much more important. I am still beyond pumped to see this movie as there is so much talent associated with it. Thanks for keeping the pics. coming!
