Josh Brolin joins Sean Penn in MILK!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. The trades had a story today regarding Josh Brolin's next flick. It's about damn time Brolin is getting his dues as an actor. He's on an incredible kick right now, especially his fantastic understated work in NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN.

He's just signed on to be the co-star of MILK, the Gus Van Sant biopic of the assassinated gay rights activist Harvey Milk. Sean Penn is playing Milk and Brolin will be Dan White, the San Francisco county supervisor who murdered Milk and San Fran Mayor George Moscone.

You might remember there's a competing Milk biopic project (like CAPOTE and INFAMOUS) to be directed by Bryan Singer with a script by Chris McQuarrie. That's exciting to me, to see those two work together again (that's why I can't wait for VALKYRIE), but word is McQuarrie didn't get his draft turned in before the strike, so I'd guess that one might not happen since MILK is going forward to strongly.

What do you folks think?
