Guys, Win the Chance to Make Out With Sean Penn
Oh my, this sounds like fun. Men of San Francisco, this Saturday there will be an open casting call for Gus Van Sant's film project, tentatively titled "Untitled Harvey Milk Project" as of now.
We've already mentioned our enthusiasm for this project before. (With thoughts of who will play DiFi bordering on obsession.) But who knew that we might have a slim-to-none chance of being in the film?! Sure, we can't act, probably weigh in at clinically-obese levels, and suffer from mild body dysmorphia, but we're so there. And seeing as how we've already (seamlessly and sadly) memorized the choreography for this, we're a shoo-in for a bit part taking place in the '70s. Then again, we lack that straight-man-homos-wish-were-gay aesthetic that Gus seems to prefer, so....who knows? But we will be there and with a full report of all the backstabbing, hair pulling, and heavy petting come Monday for you all.
Info is as follows.

I've been concerned with the DiFi casting as well.
My first choice? Judy Davis.
Then, Annette Bening.
Felicity Huffman could pull it off.
Only Angelica Huston could acurately portray the conniving evil that is DiFi.
Or maybe Sigourney Weaver in Working Girl days.
SING OUT, BROCK!!!
Who'd want to kiss Sean Penn? He has yellow cigarette teeth.
Didn't he try to breed with Madonna?
nice graphic
I'd like to see Parker Posey as DiFi . . .
Matt Damon can be absolutely demonic. Great casting...
Glad to see this notice made it up here on SFist.
More than appropros, you go Brock!
Looking forward to Monday's report.
Sally Field, reprising her crazed "E.R." role, could do DiFi. Meryl Streep would also be a fine pick.
