Ewan McGregor’s next gay movie at Toronto

Undead gay art porn movie L.A. Zombies has been scaring up the most attention from gay news tubes on its rampage towards Toronto International Film Festival, but another gay film is quietly preparing to show for the first time to the crowds at the major movie fest.

Beginners is from director Mike Mills (Thumbsucker) and stars Ewan McGregor (who must be glad at least one gay film he’s made might get seen) as a son coming to terms with two big revelations from his 71-year-old father – one that McDad is a big gay and is in a relationship with a much younger man.

Dad is played by Christopher Plummer (hopefully in a restrained performance) and his young lover has the face of Goran Visnjic (remember him from ER and that Madonna video?).

This is only Mills’ second feature, but the director/designer/graphic artist is a talent to watch and this unassuming gay movie could do big things – or it could be rubbish; that’s the joy of film festivals.

I don’t have a trailer for Beginners, so here’s a music promo for a just wrapped gay movie called Buffering, instead – more on that soon. Tune = catchy.
