The gay-themed movie Modern Love has been quietly picking up a great cast, with Kate Walsh, Anthony Rapp and Jonathan Bennett all set to star, and now, with shooting underway, they’ve been joined by Alyson Hannigan, Thomas Dekker (“Nightmare on Elm Street”), Alona Tal, Sam Anderson, Lee Garlington, Mackenzie Astin and Hutchi Hancock, according to Variety.
It’s certainly a better line-up than the majority of gay-themed films get, but as this one is about the currently hot issue of gay marriage, it’s managed to attract a little bit more cash and known actors than most. It’s not known whether Hannigan will be stepping back into lesbian shoes following her famed turn as Willow in Buffy, but whatever character she’s playing, it will be great to see her.
The film ‘follows an intimate group of friends and family gathering at the home of two gay men — portrayed by Rapp and Bennett — to celebrate their nuptials. When the wedding hits a snag, the group helps the grooms to see that all marriages have their challenges.’
Those behind the movie hope it will have wide appeal, with the producers saying that writer/director Joshua Tunick’s script is about affirming the importance of the commitment of marriage for everyone – gay and straight – rather than just being about what it means from the LGBT perspective.
Filming is happening now in LA, although there’s no hint as to when we might see the movie.

Peanuts has never been quite as big a deal in the UK as the US (hence why it’s called Snoopy and Charlie Brown: The Peanuts Movie over here, as people know the characters more than Charles Schulz’s comic strip), but there will still be plenty of people interested in seeing Snoopy on the big screen.

We’ve had a few gay-themed horror movies, but they haven’t been altogether successful. Hopefully the comedy horror You’re Killing Me will have more luck. It’s due to screen out Outfest in LA in July 15th, but the trailer is already here for us to take a peek at.
Boys On Film is still the most successful short film series in the world, and hopefully it won’t be an unlucky 13 for its latest instalment, Boys On Film 13: Trick & Treat (although with a title like that, you have to wonder why it isn’t come out at Halloween).
Recently we had the first trailer for Guillermo Del Toro’s haunted house tale, Crimson Peak, and that’s now been followed by a quartet of classy, gothic character posters featuring Tom Hiddleson, Jessica Castain, Charlie Hunnam & Mia Wasikowska.
