Members Faulkner Posted June 7, 2018 Members Share Posted June 7, 2018 From producers Zachary Quinto and J.J. Abrams (via THR). I always thought this would be a great film. Casting suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 7, 2018 Members Share Posted June 7, 2018 JJ Abrams? Ew. Why? If he's involved it can't be good. Perkins' life was a mess. How far are they going to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted June 7, 2018 Author Members Share Posted June 7, 2018 I think it’s just going to cover the ‘50s. It’s based on Tab’s memoir, and Tab’s partner Allan Glaser is also a producer. I watched Tab’s documentary on Netflix, and there was an interesting story about Anthony stealing a role (in “Fear Strikes Out”) from Tab while they were still in a relationship.

Members DRW50 Posted June 7, 2018 Members Share Posted June 7, 2018 I always thought that was an odd role for Perkins. Now it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted June 7, 2018 Author Members Share Posted June 7, 2018 I’d never seen it. I suppose Tab would make more sense as a star athlete, but I figured Anthony would be good at the mental unraveling part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted June 7, 2018 Members Share Posted June 7, 2018 I didn't even know they were an item. I do know that Perkins eventually married a woman. She perished in one of the planes that was crashed into the WTC on 9/11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChitHappens Posted July 10, 2018 Members Share Posted July 10, 2018 Sadly, no one is aiming higher than Quinto. Hard pass!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted July 11, 2018 Members Share Posted July 11, 2018 Quinto As Perkins. No Way that doesnt fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoria foxton Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 He doesn't fit the role on any level. Plus his too old. Tab & Tony were in there 20's when they were a couple. Done right this could be interesting to watch. But they are going to screw it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted July 11, 2018 Members Share Posted July 11, 2018 Anthony Perkins was also in a relationship with Stephen Sondheim. They planned luxury scavenger hunts for their friends in New York with limousines to whisk teams around town. These games became the basis for their only screenplay together, The Last of Sheila. It's a great early 70's roman a clef/mystery/drama/comedy, highly recommended. Perkins was later a client of psychiatrist Eugene Landy who is accused of messing up Brian Williams from the Beach Boys as dramatized in the great movie Grace of My Heart. So, a lot of this material has been already been rich fodder for film/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted July 11, 2018 Author Members Share Posted July 11, 2018 Wait, did they announce ZQ as playing Perkins? According to the article I posted he’s just producing, and they are searching for actors to play the parts, unless there’s been an update I missed. I agree he’d be miscast if he played Perkins himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
