Rebecca Romijn

Cumming jumps from Oz to Wonderland

In one of the oddest ideas for a film I've heard in a while, plans were announced for Hatter, starring Alan Cumming and gay fave Rebecca Romijn, working together for the first time since X2. Early details on the film are sketchy, but Variety reports that the plot is based off of the Tea Party scene from Alice in Wonderland, with Cumming (who is also producing the film) playing Matt Hatter, a "hedonistic" fashion designer who is confronted by a journalist (Romijn) with dark secrets from his past. Hatter will be directed by James Killough, making his feature film directorial debut. The film will begin shooting on location in Europe in spring of 2008.

The role isn't Cumming's only recent foray into classic children's literature; he's also playing the part of the scarecrow in the Sci Fi Channel's miniseries, Tin Man, a "twisted, psychedelic" take on The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Judging from the trailer the film looks visually interesting, if a little cheesy, which is par for the course for most of Sci Fi Channel's original movies. Tin Man is set to air in December.

Two Gay Guys Chewing the Fat: Can Brent Meet Ellen Greene?

Well, gents and friends of gay-gents, this marks our final post of the week. We're closing up shop just a little bit early as I'm heading out-of-town on an actual vacation! But before I go, allow me to present you the latest edition of Brent and Michael's vlog Two Gay Guys.

This week Brent and I chat about our recent adventures at the ABC Party which capped my first exciting Television Critics Press Tour. I was able to finagle Brent an invite to ABC's big shindig whereupon he proceeded on his quest to meet Ellen Greene. If you don't know who that is then you don't qualify for the platinum membership in the Gay Boy Club of America. I only qualified because I live with Brent and have been hearing about Ellen since, oh, our first date. If you don't know who she is, you will after the video. Trust me.

BTW, don't forget this week's BEST.GAY.WEEK.EVER! which is very important as it's up to you to save the poor AfterElton.com Flying Monkey! See you in two weeks!

Hey, Michael! How about some more GLAAD photos?

Since I couldn't include all the photos from GLAAD's 18th annual Media Awards in our article, here are a few more as promised. Your number one request? Matthew Rhys, of course! (And that's Ron Rifikin and Patricia Wettig with him.)
