The story covers a fifteen year love affair between two men in the late 1970s/1980s. The couple deal with disapproval, separation and, ultimately death.
Corr and Stott play the two leads--the other three and Camilla Ah Kin play their parents. The lead roles are tricky because the actors have to go from 16-year-old students to men in their thirties. There also had to be chemistry, and Stott has to lose a lot of weight to portray his later scenes where he's dying.
The production will take a seven week break in order for Stott to drop the weight.
Neil Armfield ("Candy") is calling action . The screenplay for the film is adapted from Timothy Conigrave’s memior
Tommy Murphy previously wrote and directed the play.
Shooting begins in Melbourne next week. The film production follows several successful stagings of a stage version around the world, most notably in Los Angeles earlier this year
