"Leading Men" is headed for the silver screen

Almost exactly a year ago, we discussed Christopher Castellani's Leading Men, a novel about Tennessee Williams and his longtime lover, Frank Merlo. My thanks to the intrepid Octavio Roca for alerting me to an article in Variety that reports Matthew Lopez (whose smash play, The Inheritance, we discussed back in July) has been tapped to write the screenplay for a Searchlight Pictures film based on the novel.
