I guess it makes sense for him to be adapting a book written by a Mormon...


"If you're asking, 'Do we take discrimination against gays as seriously as bigotry against African Americans and Jews?' . . . the answer is, 'Of course we do.' But we also believe that some people, including Rich [Raddon], saw Prop. 8 not as a civil rights issue but a religious one. That is their right. And it is not, in and of itself, proof of bigotry." - Dreamgirls director Bill Condon, referring to the brewing controversy over LA Film Festival director Richard Raddon's $1000 contribution to Yes On 8.

At last, a project worthy of his talents.

I still remember this story about at one of the Dreamgirls premieres, he threw a total hissy fit because they wouldn't just start the movie without a few speeches. He wanted to just have it START, just like the stage show would, and he was all pissy when he didn't get his way.

If he'd wanted it to be more like the stage show perhaps he shouldn't have excised half the score.
