I don't see Emile in any of them, but I am still completely excited for the film so decided to post these anyways! I'll be keeping up with the news and pictures concerning the film as best as I can!

Actor James Franco with his latest turn as the pot smoking guy on "Pineapple Express" is also set to star in "Milk." He will be having a supporting role in the film. But the excitement generated by the film is sure going to get it in the indie box office favorites for the year. The film is sure to get a lot of Oscar buzz for Sean Pean’s take as a gay politician who was shot dead.

Franco on the other hand will play one of the supporters of Harvey Milk. His character Scott Smith is also his lover in the film. Milk was assassinated in 1978 by a man who had previously held his city office. The talented Emile Hirsch also plays the flamboyant Cleve Jones. The film has been the news for quite sometime now and it is known to be one of Gus Van Sant’s dream projects.

If you focus the lens in for a tighter view, you can see the signs.
Rows of 1960s hippie clothes hang on racks inside an office building along Route 20.

Just down the pavement, dozens of 40-year-old Chryslers, Plymouths and Volkswagens — lots of Volkswagens — wait in a field behind Chuck's Automotive.

Construction crews revamp the Valley Rest Motel, a dingy, dying $59-a-night roadside stop.

Just one week out from the start of filming, work is under way on Oscar Award-winning director Ang Lee's newest movie, "Taking Woodstock."

According to Variety's Web site, "Taking Woodstock" is being produced by Focus Features and will star Emile Hirsch ("Into the Wild"), Imelda Staunton ("Harry Potter"), Eugene Levy ("American Pie"), Dan Fogler ("The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee"), Jeffrey Dean Morgan ("Grey's Anatomy") and comedian Dimitri Martin.

PS Not that anything is wrong with Emile's long hair, but do you think he has been growing it out for this film? Comment if you have anything to say about this thought! ;)

I finally got the new layout up. Hopefully this one works well for everyone. I didn't think I would already have a new layout up, but it's summer and I feel that this one is more summer-y. Please let me know what you think! If anything isn't working for you, please, please, please let me know so that I can fix it!
