Today we’re talking to screenwriter Dustin Lance Black about his movie J. Edgar. He was on Fresh Air once before, in 2008, to talk about how Harvey Milk helped him come out. Thought I’d post it in case you’d like to listen to it.

Tomorrow: screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, on J. Edgar, Milk, and Big Love. 

“I loved the Beats and I had been reading them since I was about 15, and ever since I got into acting I always dreamed about doing a movie about the Beats. But I never thought that I would play Allen. I always thought I would play [Jack] Kerouac or [Neal] Cassady.” — James Franco, on his role as Allen Ginsberg in the movie Howl. (Franco also discusses his other movie roles, his writing, his graduate career and his time on General Hospital.)
