Grey Gardens Gets Gets

Since the end of Caroline in the City, gay actor Malcolm Gets has moved over to the indie side of life, appearing in Thirteen Conversations About One Thing and the queer romantic comedy Adam & Steve.

But now he's signed on to participate in what could become his most high-profile project to date.

Grey Gardens, which Romeo reported on earlier, is the narrative film based on the documentary of the same name about Jacqueline Kennedy's eccentric relatives, Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter, "Little Edie."

Boosted by the success of the Tony Award-winning musical, this version won't feature characters breaking into song nearly as much as the stage play, but Gets will appear as "Big Edie's" musical accompanist, alongside Jessica Lang, Drew Barrymore, and Jeanne Tripplehorn as Jackie Kennedy.

The finished product will air on HBO in 2008.

Can't wait.
