Johnny Depp will sing, slaughter for irn Burton
Stephen Sondheim's legendary musical
"Sweeney Todd" is enjoying a successful
revival on Broadway, although the show —
about a barber who gets vengeance on his ene-
mies by cutting their throats and selling the
corpses for meat-pie filling — has had a diffi-
cult road to the big screen. (Romeo feels like
he's been writing about a potential "Sweeney"
movie since the invention of talkies.) The latest
stab at it comes from director Tim Burton, who
can certainly handle the
more ghoulish aspects
of the musical.
Burton, perhaps
not surprising-
ly, wants his
frequent lead-
ing man
Johnny Depp
in the title
role, while gay
screenwriter
John Logan (The
Aviator) will adapt the
show's book.
Here's
hop-
ing
that
Depp's voice does justice to Sondheim's great
songs —rand that he won't wear those creepy
Willy Wonka teeth again.
John Stamos sounds
'The Wedding March'
He may have gone through a very public
breakup with Rebecca Romain — a pin-up girl
for lipstick lesbians if there ever was one — but
John Stamos isn't letting his romantically trou-
bled past get in the way of work. He 's starring
as a gay events coordinator in "The Wedding
March", a new TV movie that will air on A&E.
Produced by openly gay moguls Craig Zadan
and Neil Meron (Chicago), 'March' sees
Stamos' character inadvertently set off a
nationwide strike by lesbian and gay cou-
ples angry that they can't get married.
Ironically, the movie is being made in
Canada, where same-sex couples are legally
welcome to tie the knot. Happy to take advan-
tage of that fact was "The Wedding
March"director, Jim Fall (Trick,
The Lizzie McGuire
Movie), who wed
his boy-friend, Juan
King, during the
shoot.
Chastity Bono
feels 'Love'
for Here TV
She's
authored two
memoirs and
survived
"Celebrity
Fit Club" —
now
Chastity
Bono can add
"screenwriter"
to her multifac-
eted resume.
Bono and Garth
Belcon have
written "In the
Name of Love", a
romantic comedy
that's gone into
development at
queer cable net-
work Here TV.
The project
promises to put a
wild spin on the usual
coming-out story in
its focus on two
female characters:
One of them, an
out lesbian
actress, is sur-
prised to find
herself having
very vivid,
erotic dreams about her co-star -— who hap-
pens to be a man — while her best friend, a
straight woman, is just about
to lose her lesbian vir-
ginity. But hey, if
you're a lesbian who
I was raised by a
Republican and by
1 one of the world's
: biggest gay icons,
you're prepared for
any and all permu-
tations of sex-
uality.
Jon Stamos
No, the 'Other' kind of Camp
Get ready to pitch a tent for the documentary
that's been a big hit on the gay and lesbian film-
festival circuit. Kirk Marcolina and Larry
Grimaldi's "Camp Out" tells the story of the
Naming Project Camp at Bay Lake in
Minnesota, which was designed to address the
needs of young gay Christians in the hopes of
keeping them in the church and preventing teen
suicides sparked by homophobia. The funny,
moving film isn't exactly "Meatballs," but its
portrayal of adolescents who are striving to bal-
ance their religious upbringing with their bud-
ding sexuality is delighting audiences every-
where. Don't be surprised to see "Camp Out" in
a theater near you, even if it doesn't feature pen-
guins, ballroom dancing, spelling bees, or global
warming.

"Yes. I have a lot of
the same opportuni-
ties, except marriage.
But I'm not thinking
of that right now."
"I don't have as
many freedoms.
Freedoms are taken
away one at a time in
this country. Not just
in the GLBT commu-

"Yes, pretty much. I
live in San Francisco
so there's no more
freedom than that, at
least for gay people."
Robert Green

"No, on two
accounts. I'm still
fighting racism and
now I have to fight
discrimination
against sexual orien-
