Biel's Feeling Powder Blue
After Crash won the
Best Picture Oscar two years ago (over Brokeback Mountain, alas),
it was inevitable we'd get more
intersecting-lives-of-strangers-in-Los-Angeles movies.
Now comes word of Powder Blue, which takes place entirely on a
Christmas Eve of chance connections.
One stranger, played by newcomer Alejandro Romero, happens to be a
transgender prostitute who crosses the path of priest Forest Whitaker
and shares a secret past with him.
Patrick Stewart, Jessica Biel, Kris Kristofferson, Patrick Swayze, and
Ray Liotta all co-star.
Shooting now, Powder Blue is expected to hit theaters in 2008.
Maybe even at Christmas time.
