One of the major Oscar contenders for this awards season is expected to be Gus Van Sant's Milk, which tells the story of Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man to be elected to public office back in 1977. This first full look shows us Sean Penn is melting into another great performance, with Josh Brolin being appropriately ominous as Dan White, Milk's fellow city supervisor who eventually becomes his murderer. Penn's Into the Wild star Emile Hirsch is back with him again as well, and James Franco is playing his partner Scott Smith.
