Jonathan Bailey Gets Sacked


Jonathan Bailey has a new project, a new gay project, in the works! Gay gay gay, we love gay. He's going to star opposite Bill Nighy in Insomniac City, an adaptation of an autobiographical book by photographer Bill Hayes about his romance with famed neurologist and noted hottie (see down below) Oliver Sacks. Of course those photos were obviously a long time after this story's being set, since Nighy is 76-years-old and I don't think has a De-Niro-esque transformation in him haha. But still Sacks was a fascinating figure -- I really recommend the doc on his life that came out in 2020 -- and this no doubt will be a great yarn. Dominic Cooke, the director of On Chesil Beach, is directing, along with co-writing the film alongside Hayes himself.  Click here to see a photo of the real-life couple. I think it'll be fascinating to see a film tackle a gay relationship with this much of an age gap -- it's a dynamic in our community that gets ignored but is everywhere and plays out very different from the ones between men and women I think. The power dynamics are not at all the same. Interesting stuff, great actors, cannot wait.

'Jonathan Bailey', 'gay project' = OK sold. God knows I don't need to see another Jur4s1c P4rk movie (my love for Jonny wasn't strong enough to make me watch Wicked).

Any opportunity to revisit those Oliver Sacks photos is a good one, in my opinion.
