We have a first look at Milk today thanks to our friends at slashfilm and firstshowing:
Harvey Milk (1930-1978) was an activist and politician, and the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in America; in 1977, he was voted to the city supervisors’ board of San Francisco. The following year, both he and the city’s mayor George Moscone were shot to death by another city supervisor, Dan White.
I love the full suit of denim armor worn by Sean Penn in the above picture. He nailed the look of Milk, and this film certainly has all the necessary elements to be fantastic. A tragic story, great cast, denim armor, and the the mysterious man known as Van Sant. No word yet on when we can expect this in theaters, but we will be sure to keep you posted.
