Director Todd Haynes says the actor is pushing the film to ‘go further’ and lean into the controversial rating.
Far From Heaven, the 2002 Todd Haynes film starring Julianne Moore as a 1950s housewife whose happy domestic life changes when she discovers her husband is gay, has been commissioned to become a musical. In the very meta world of entertainment, the Far From Heaven musical will be a musical based on a film based on the classic Douglas Sirk melodrama All That Heaven Allows, which starred Rock Hudson and Jane Wyman.
The re-imagining of Mildred Pierce is turning out to be the gayest thing since - well - the original Mildred Pierce Joan Crawford vehicle. And now, True Blood's lesbian vampire queen Evan Rachel Wood is signed on to Far From Heaven director Todd Haynes's mini-series of the noir classic, which will star Kate Winslet.
Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore star in Todd Haynes’ new film.
We're not sure we can wait until next year...
This lesbian movie just got even gayer.
This movie was already going to be epic, but now it's even beyond that!
Now you can watch Kate Winslet, as Mildred Pierce, choke the hell out of Evan Rachel Wood’s hateful Veda on repeat since HBO’s five-part mini series Mildred Pierce dropped on Jan. 3.
Here's a fix for Kate Winslet fans salivating for something new since the British thespian landed dual Golden Globes for her role in The Reader and Revolutionary Road and an Oscar for the former nearly two years ago. Just as the original 1945 Joan Crawford starrer Mildred Pierce -- directed by Michael Curtiz of Casablanca fame -- was a perfect marriage of a domestic potboiler and film noir, HBO's five-part miniseries of Mildred Pierce is a pitchperfect union of the right network with gay wonderboy director Todd Haynes, Winslet and Evan Rachel Wood as Mildred's spoiled rotten daughter Veda.
Lesbians and gay boys alike, can you handle five hours of former 'Heavenly Creature' Kate Winslet in 1920s garb? We’re talking corsets and possible Flapper attire, here, ladies. HBO has picked up the rights to 'Mildred Pierce,' a five-hour miniseries from openly gay writer-director Todd Haynes.
We can not get enough of this lesbian-themed love story. Can it be November yet?
Get the details on one of Carol's most intimate scenes between leading ladies Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara.
Julianne Moore looked luminous at her Walk of Fame ceremony.
It's looking more and more possible that Carol will be the best movie of 2015.
Saying so much with so little.
The two are collaborating on a gay love story set in the 1930s.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo's Rooney Mara will play the role of Therese, a young woman who falls for Cate Blanchett's older woman Carol in the '50s-era lesbian potboiler.
Hollywood is busy adapting Patricia Highsmith’s pre-Lolita 1952 lesbian road trip novel The Price of Salt into a film entitled Carol with Oscar winner Cate Blanchett signed on to play the titular role of a wealthy, older married woman who falls in love with a young woman who works in a department store. Mia Wasikowska, star of Albert Nobbs, The Kids are All Right and Jane Eyre, costars as Therese, the younger woman. If all that weren’t enough to make my lesbian cinephile’s head explode, news broke today that Todd Haynes, the out director of modern queer classics Velvet Goldmine andFar From Heaven (also HBO’s Mildred Pierce), is set to direct, according to IndieWire.
Hollywood’s liberal heavy-hitters are embroiled in a battle over how to handle the stripping away of lesbian and gay marriage rights in the aftermath of Prop. 8. Openly gay directors like Greg Araki and Bill Condon are at odds on whether or not to protest and boycott everyone and every business that donated to the Yes on 8 campaign.
