Eliza Dushku Producing Mapplethorpe Biopic

I learned several things about Eliza Dushku today. First, her middle name is Patricia (she owns ElizaPatriciaDushku.com). Second, she has a production company called Boston Diva Productions (here). I'm a fan of the name - and as you know, a diva is a female version of a hustler....

Eliza Dushku, star of Fox's frosh series "Dollhouse," is bringing a biopic on iconic photographer Robert Mapplethorpe to the bigscreen.

Dushku has secured the exclusive rights and the full cooperation from Mapplethorpe's estate and has enlisted two-time Sundance grand jury prize winner and indie darling Ondi Timoner ("DIG!") to helm the film, which is titled "The Perfect Moment."

Dear Eliza Dushku, you are awesome. That is all.

PS. A quick wikipedia search of Mapplethorpe shows that he lived in NYC most of the time. But curiously enough, he died in Boston. Will some of the filming be done in Boston?

PPS. Now I have that stupid Beyonce "Diva" song stuck in my head.
