HBO’s next movie will be a 1960s gay rights drama
With Mad Men soon coming to a close, those yearning for riveting 1960s revolution and beards may soon turn to HBO. The network has picked up a script for the drama Open City, a film focusing on the beginning of the gay rights movement in 1960s New York. (Maybe this is where Salvatore Romano disappeared to?) According to the Hollywood Reporter, Open City will feature “characters from disparate corners of Manhattan as they navigate the cultural revolution and political turmoil of the era.” It will also include a look at the “unlikely alliance” between the gay community and the Mafia upon the opening of a nightclub in the West Village.
