Milk man Josh Brolin catches a departing flight out of LAX airport in Los Angeles on Sunday (January 4).
The 40-year-old actor, who’s married to actress Diane Lane, will be on Bravo’s Inside the Actors Studio TONIGHT @ 8/7c. (It was taped all the way back in November).
Brolin will reveal some behind-the-scenes info with James Lipton about his roles in Milk and W.. Check out a preview at BravoTV.com.
Milk is tells the story of slain gay rights icon Harvey Milk from Academy Award-nominated director Gus Van Sant. Early reviews for the film and especially Sean Penn’s portrayal of Milk are very strong.
The Hollywood Reporter: “Yes, it’s a biopic, a love story, a civil rights movie and sharp political and social commentary. But it transcends any single genre as a very human document that touches first and foremost on the need to give people hope.”
Variety: “The quality of the writing, acting and directing generally invests them with the feel of real life and credible personal interchange, rather than of scripted stops along the way from aspiration to triumph to tragedy. And on a project whose greatest danger lay in its potential to come across as agenda-driven agitprop, the filmmakers have crucially infused the story with qualities in very short supply today — gentleness and a humane embrace of all its characters, even of the entirely vilifiable gunman, Dan White.”
Milk opens on November 26 in limited release and December 5 wide. For more info, visit MilkTheMovie.com.

FYI: Vanity Fair canceled its most lavish bash for the Oscars because of the writers strike. “After much consideration, and in support of the writers and everyone else affected by this strike, we have decided that this is not the appropriate year to hold our annual Oscar party,” said a Vanity Fair spokesperson. “We want to congratulate all of this year’s nominees and we look forward to hosting our 15th Oscar party next year.”
No Country For Old Men stars Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin ham it up for the cameras at the 2008 AFI Awards held at the Four Seasons Hotel on Friday in Beverly Hills, Calif.
Bardem, 38, and the entire creative ensemble of No Country For Old Men were recognized by the American Film Institute (AFI) for their contribution to America’s cultural legacy. The plaque reads, “No Country For Old Men breathes new life — and death — into the classic American western. Joel and Ethan Coen construct a film like a steel trap, one that springs and snaps with a ferocity seldom seen in the movies. The film features a killer combination of acting talent — Josh Brolin, Tommy Lee Jones and Javier Bardem, who creates and then unleashes one of the great screen villains of our time. Drive by heart-stopping tension and pacing, the Coen Brothers‘ masterful juxtaposition of savagery and innocence is a powerful tale of morality in a bleak world where a life can end with the flip of a coin.”
