Kevin Spacey is Playing Gore Vidal in Upcoming Netflix Biopic

Kevin Spacey is coming to Netflix to play Gore Vidal, the openly gay, beloved yet controversial, American writer and intellectual.

The movie is set in the 1980s and is currently shooting in Italy, where Gore spent much of his life with his male partner — both claim they never had sex with each other, but they were totally in love and live-in partners for decades.

Gore is also known for his debates with William F. Buckley Jr, as well as his theory that all men and women were innately bisexual. He didn’t care much for “homosexual” or “heterosexual” terms.

He entertained the world’s rich and famous, like Andy Warhol, Mick Jagger, Greta Garbo, and Paul Newman. He later died in 2012 in the Hollywood Hills.

The title of the film is unknown.
