The Dying Gaul

The Dying Gaul is a 2005 drama film written and directed by Craig Lucas. The story is set in 1995 and follows Robert Sandrich (Peter Sarsgaard), a homosexual Hollywood writer. After losing his lover and agent Malcolm Cartonis (Bill Camp) to AIDS related cerebral tuberculosis, Robert begins to write a play, drawing inspiration from his pain and experiences, titled "The Dying Gaul" about a homosexual man and his lover. Upon its completion, Robert is approached by a successful movie producer named Jeffrey Tishop (Campbell Scott) and his wife Elaine (Patricia Clarkson) who are impressed by the depth of the script. Jeffrey offers to turn it into a movie, but only if Robert agrees to remove the homosexual characters and change to protagonist to a female. At first Robert refuses, but then concedes to making the changes when he is offered a large amount of money. Production goes along smoothly and Robert gets closer and closer to the married couple. Elaine eventually starts to become attracted to the writer, but she soon discovers a shocking secret that may end her marriage and change her life forever. MORE [EDIT]
