We've posted about the possibility of this a couple of times previously but now that it's officially officail we're gonna post about it again, dammit -- what, I'm supposed to leave a chance to post a photo of Ben Whishaw on the table? Hardly! Yesterday Deadline confirmed (thx Mac) that Ben is reuniting with his Passages director Ira Sachs next on a bio-pic of the photographer and artist Peter Hujar -- the film will co-star actress (and daughter of Julian) Stella Schnabel as Hujar's friend Linda (that last bit of info comes from this previous post of mine where Ben talked about what the movie was going to be about for the first time). If you're unfamiliar with Hujar's work make yourself familiar -- he's one of the most important gay artists of the 80s dammit!

Of the '70s (and the '80s) dammit!
Yes yes sorry that too ;)
There was a terrific exhibition of Hujar's work at the Carnegie Library a few years ago. The main exhibition was Tennessee Williams, that ended with Sweet Bird of Youth (nothing of his later work was there), but Hujar was excellent!
