The Dying Gaul by Craig Lucas
10 25 2005One of my favorite plays, The Dying Gaul, by one of my favorite playwrights, Craig Lucas, has been filmed. And as a special bonus, he got to adapt and direct it himself as an independent. As part of the story concerns a previously unproduced screenwriter struggling to maintain the artistic vision of his deeply personal script in the face of big Hollywood money, anything else would have been just plain wrong.
The Dying Gaul stars Patricia Clarkson, Peter Sarsgaard, and Campbell Scott. Craig Lucas, whose previous screenplays include Longtime Companion, Prelude to a Kiss, and The Secret Lives of Dentists, makes his film directing debut.
