We all know that the issue of marriage equality is quite divisive, generating various sorts of responses and stances. Gay marriage is now official in places as diverse as Canada, Argentina, Australia, Mexico City, and Washington State, but it's all but unthinkable (at least for the time being) in places such as China, Nigeria, Iran, Texas, and Arkansas. Brad Pitt's mother and Angelina Jolie's father (that's Oscar-winning actor and Midnight Cowboy star Jon Voight) are totally against it, while Clint Eastwood doesn't give a damn about who gets hitched to whom. Unlike the Dirty Harry star, a former MGM contract player in the '40s -- that's Marsha Hunt (please see more info about her dozens of films further down) and a political activist in the last several decades, does very much care. (Pictured above: Hunt and documentarian Roger C. Memos, currently working on a project about the blacklisted actress.

We finally have some news on the long-gestating Kavalier & Clay project that Scott Rudin bought the rights to ten years ago. Stephen Daldry recently did an interview with Collider, and he revealed that he has not forgotten about the project and that he has plans to bring the story to life.
The project is based on Michael Chabon‘s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. The story is set mostly in the 30’s and 40’s and follows the lives of two cousins — Brooklynite Sam Clay and Czech refugee Joe Kavalier — who find fame and fortune in the Golden Age of the comic book industry. At one point Sydney Pollack and Jude Law were involved The project has seen a number of other stars come and go, including Tobey Maguire, Jamie Bell, Natalie Portman, Andrew Garfield, and Ryan Gosling. The project has never gotten the traction it needed to move forward.

[1] In the decade since producer Scott Rudin snapped up the rights to Michael Chabon's Pulitzer Prize-winning The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, the project's seen Sydney Pollack and Jude Law come and go, and Tobey Maguire, Jamie Bell, Natalie Portman, Andrew Garfield, and Ryan Gosling all floated as potential stars -- but in truth, we're no closer to seeing a big-screen adaptation now than we were back in 2000. If director Stephen Daldry has his way, though, we may just be getting a small-screen version of it. Specifically, an HBO miniseries version of it. Well, maybe. Set mostly in '30s and '40s New York, Chabon's book follows the lives of two cousins -- Brooklynite Sam Clay and Czech refugee Joe Kavalier -- who find fame and fortune in the Golden Age of the comic book industry. More on Daldry's ideas for the property after the jump. Daldry boarded...
