Gus Van Sant Re-Teaming with Dustin Lance Black on ABC Gay Rights Miniseries ‘When We Rise’
Gus Van Sant is boarding ABC’s gay rights movement miniseries “When We Rise” as an exec producer and director, Variety has learned. He will direct the first two-hour episode.
First announced in summer 2013, “When We Rise” has been in development for two and a half years. With Van Sant on board, the project is officially a go, and will soon head into production.
Van Sant’s appointment marks a reunion between the “Milk” director and Dustin Lance Black, who won an Oscar for writing the screenplay to the 2008 Harvey Milk biopic. Black is writing and exec producing “When We Rise” for ABC.

Not a handsome man by some standards, which should give hope to ordinary men everywhere who might find a fit young Speedo-wearing gay diver someone they'd like to chat up or otherwise entertain.
When they get to the part where naked men got frisky together, I know one athlete I'd like to see as one of the frolickers. Maybe he could fill in for a young Greg Louganis….
Series has been in development a LONG time. Let's hope it is as good as it ought to be, or even better.
Also, isn't it nice to see a director who started out with a small, highly personal film like "Mala Noche" continues to carry his sensibility and directorial skills into the mainstream?
