Brideshead Revisited, Revisited

One of TV's first non-hysterical explorations of a gay relationship came in the early 1980s with the British miniseries adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's novel Brideshead Revisited, about a middle-class university student who falls for a foppish, teddy-bear-toting aristocrat in pre-WWII England.

A new generation will get a big-screen version of the Waugh classic from writers Jeremy Brock (The Last King of Scotland) and Andrew Davies (Bridget Jones' Diary).

The two leads - originally played by Jeremy Irons and Anthony Andrews - have yet to be cast, but Graham Norton has been lined up to play the exceedingly queeny Anthony Blanche, while Coen Brothers regular Jon Polito will be Mr. Samgrass.

Expect to hear a lot about this project - slated to hit theaters in 2008 - once a director and leading men are attached.
