Arrest Me, Russell Tovey


Tom Blyth, who starred in the far far far better than it needed to be latest Hunger Games movie (my review) as well as Terence Davies' final masterpiece Benediction, is making a gay movie with Russell Tovey! And they're making it in upstate New York, like twenty minutes from where my Mom lives? WTF. It's called Plainclothes and it's shooting in Syrcause with a first-time writer-director named Carmen Emmi and here is how Variety describes it:

"Set in the ’90s and inspired by true events, a working-class undercover officer is tasked with entrapping and apprehending gay men, only to find himself drawn to one of his targets."

So not only is it set where I'm from (more or less) but it's set there during a time when I lived there? Oh I am going to have to keep an eye on this one, even beyond the Tom Blyth and Russell Tovey  cop-perp fuck-fest. Even beyond that! Do we think Russell is playing the cop? I feel like Russell would be the cop but maybe that is just me remembering his hot mustachioed turn in American Horror Story...

Russell; yes, please. But I find Tom Blyth to be exceedingly creepy.

Let me guess...they're remaking Cruising without the gay bar. Instead it will be a hipster bar which has its own microbrewery.
*slow clap*
