In addition to what [livejournal.com profile] hyacinthus posted about the upcoming film adaptation of Dream Boy here I have found the movie's official myspace which has some more photos.











I hope that this adaptation will be wonderful, but honestly I cannot recommend the book enough, it's incredible. It's by Jim Grimsley and I think everyone should read it before the film is released :)

The book was very well done, but oh my gosh. I feel like my grandchildren are going to be ten years dead before we actually get a movie based on a gay-themed book with a happy, positive message and ending. Sigh. Why has cinema moved _backwards_ from when "Maurice" was made? I'm tired of movies to kill myself by, I swear.

I couldn't help but feel it had a kind of triumphant, bittersweet end because of the dreamlike, poetic way Jim Grimsley wrote it.

My sentiments exactly, and thank you for the wonderful post!

Beautiful Thing (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115640/) (1996) has a happy ending, IIRC - it's a while since I've seen it, but I remember it as well-made.

Technically, it was based on a play.
