Aaron Sorkin is a genius writer, and he’s got a number of great shows and movies behind him. The West Wing, A Few Good Men, Moneyball, Sports Night, The Social Network (for which he won an Oscar). And there are definitely things that can be called Sorkin-esque – the man basically patented the television walk and talk. But now he’s got a TV show coming on HBO. It’s called The Newsroom.

Does Ellen Page want to act? The actress is no longer starring in the film Jack and Diane, a project she’d been long attached to. According to /Film, Page has been replaced by another young up and comer, Alison Pill. Last year Page also dropped out of Sam Raimi’s Drag Me to Hell and was quickly replaced by Alison Lohman. It looks like this is another project that hit the skids.

Almost 30+ years after Harvey Milks fight, when the issue has again risen to the forefront of state and national politics, Gus Van Sant offers a stunning portrayal of the history of gay rights.
