None. I want to see The Dreyfus Affair. Sadly I know it will never happen. The writer has tried to green light the novel for at least a decade with no luck.

The Sluts by Dennis Cooper. It's one of the most absolutely brutal pieces of fiction I have ever read (gay or straight) but there are so many clever twists. I think this would make an amazing indie film done by Gregg Arakki or someone similar. I highly recommend.

I love GIOVANNI'S ROOM, and done sparsely & tastefully a fresh take would be welcome.
I must say, though; Baldwin's meatier and more passionate confessional book JUST ABOVE MY HEAD is a far more satisfying read and would meet with better success given today's milieu of Black Pride and renewed interest in African-American urbana (post-LUKE CAGE, the embodiment of Harlem) as well as the current somber mood of a USA mourning foregone glory and trying to sweep away the broken shells of racial divide.

@OP:
1) Can we have the other Sprouse instead? It does make a difference.
2) Douglas Booth comes over quite stupid where Clive Durham...really isn't.
3) I don't want TimotAY anywhere near Genet who is actually my spiritual Dad.
Otherwise yeah, all good. As you were.

THE FRONT RUNNER with Charlie Hunnam as Harlan Brown and Tom Holland as Billy Sive.

What might have been: In the 70s there was a much talked about "Front Runner" starring Paul Newman and Jan-Michael Vincent. Sadly, it never got made. Would have been amazing.
I don't think Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in any way, shape or form right for Malone in DFTD. That is terrible casting.

Joseph Gordon Levitt could not be a worse choice for Malone. WTF.

Is there a single openly gay actor on OPs dream list of gay stories?
We are our own worst enemies.
