Bomer To Star In Monty Clift Biopic
Matt Bomer (pictured), who starred in HBO’s critically acclaimed telefilm “The Normal Heart,” will return to the premium cable network as the star of biopic Montgomery Clift. HBO is developing the film about the “A Place in the Sun” and “From Here to Eternity” actor, hiring “Love Is Strange” writers Ira Sachs and Mauricio Zacharias to rewrite the script by Christopher Lovick. The story centers on the complicated life of Clift (Bomer), who finds himself deeply involved with a young Elizabeth Taylor following the filming of “A Place in the Sun.” So, is this going to be another movie like “The Imitation Game,” in which the gay protagonist’s main relationship is with a woman, to make it more palatable for hetero viewers? And who will be Liz? Lindsay, again?
