Rupert Everett Goes Wilde and Does Drag
Busy times ahead for out
British actor Rupert Everett, with the star slated for two projects
that look quite interesting - and very, very gay.
Everett has announced his intention to make a film about the post-prison
years of Oscar Wilde, playing the legendary writer in his final
days, hobnobbing in European nightclubs as a syphilitic shadow of his
formerly great self.
Also on the docket for Everett is a remake of the classic British comedy
The Belles of St. Trinian's, about a decidedly unorthodox girls'
boarding school.
Everett will do drag to play Miss Fritton, the school's harassed
headmistress, in a role originally essayed by Alastair Sim in the
1950s.
Both films are looking to go into production in the U.K. in 2008.
