When Daniel Friedman left his career as an architect for the world of bespoke tailoring, he didn’t know what would happen next. But his ability to custom-fit menswear for the bodies of butch lesbians and transgender men turned his Brooklyn business Bindle & Keep into a go-to destination for members of the LGBT community who wanted to look great in a suit truly made for them. And because singularity makes news, filmmaker Jason Benjamin (Orange Is the New Black, Girls) and producer Lena Dunham are in the process of making Three Suits, a documentary for HBO. The film will follow three of B&K’s clients as they’re fitted for new threads, and also as they demonstrate what the business means to them in everyday terms of negotiating gender identity and gender presentation. Best of all, the Dunham stamp of approval means that a doc about trans people that might otherwise get lost in the queer film festival shuffle will meet an audience that has never heard these kinds of stories before.

Matt Bomer acts like a nice guy

Depending on your priorities, the forthcoming Shane Black-directed action-drama The Nice Guys will be notable for a couple of reasons. If you’re a fan of Black (Iron Man 3, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) and his skillful handling of aggressive action and witty dialogue, then you know that any project he’s a part of that isn’t another superhero sequel is great news. He’s the smart, funny, guy’s-guy filmmaker, and that means let’s all look forward to getting more of that from him. But let’s say you just really, really, really want to luxuriate in your own lust for certain male movie stars. How does a trifecta of Matt Bomer (picking this one up right after the skin extravaganza that will be Magic Mike XXL), Russell Crowe (who solidly embraced his daddy-bear status in Noah) and, oh yeah, Ryan Gosling sound? Yes, we know, they sound great. And those are the three male leads of The Nice Guys and you’re welcome. It’s set in 1970s Los Angeles, with Gosling as a detective hired by gangster Crowe to find a missing young woman. Along the way, Gosling uncovers a conspiracy in which Bomer figures as something of a bad guy. But a nice bad guy. Maybe. Look, who cares, you know your priorities.

Zachary Quinto and Lisa Cholodenko deliver The Slap

If you’ve seen the play God of Carnage, or its film adaptation, Carnage – the one about awful helicopter parents who meet when their children are involved in a playground scuffle, and who subsequently engage in their own brand of brawling – then The Slap might sound vaguely familiar. An upcoming miniseries for NBC from gay writer Jon Robin Baitz (Brothers & Sisters) and lesbian filmmaker Lisa Cholodenko (The Kids Are All Right), the Australian series and novel of the same name, The Slap explores the social and legal fallout that takes place when, at a birthday party, a man slaps another couple’s misbehaving child. Australian actress Melissa George (The Good Wife) will repeat the role she handled in the original series, with new cast members Zachary Quinto, Thandie Newton, Peter Sarsgaard, Mary-Louise Parker and Brian Cox joining the American version. Hope you’re ready for bad behavior from childish adults. Oh, you can see that any day of the week in the Whole Foods parking lot, you say? OK, sure, but watch anyway.

Guinevere Turner: Manson Girl

No murder spree of the past 50 years has burned itself into the American nightmare-consciousness as the one committed by the notorious and terrifying Manson Family. Documentaries, narrative films for TV, true crime specials – the story has been told many times over, yet the public remains hungry for more, maybe in the hope of finally understanding how madness infects an entire group of young people following one charismatic lunatic. Now Ed Sanders’ 1971 book, The Family, detailing the life of Charles Manson and his leadership of the 1969 Tate-LaBianca murders, will be adapted for a TV miniseries, to be written by lesbian actor/writer Guinevere Turner (Go Fish). Turner has already taken a turn at this sort of subject matter, having co-written the movie version of Bret Easton Ellis’ American Psycho with director Mary Harron. Director Jonas Akerlund, whose work covering charismatic pop stars (Manson’s original life goal – yes, really) in concert documentaries for the likes of Madonna, Paul McCartney, and Beyonce and Jay-Z, should prove to be a more than appropriate choice to helm this dark, dangerous project. Prepare to feel creeped out all over again.
