The film is based on Randy Shilts' novel The Mayor of Castro Street : The Life and Times of Harvey Milk. Milk was the first openly gay man to hold a powerful political office in the U.S.
Mayor of Castro Street is Shilts's story of Harvey Milk, the man whose personal life, public career, and tragic assassination mirrored the dramatic and unprecedented emergence of the gay community in America during the 1970s. His is a story of personal tragedies and political intrigues, assassination in City Hall and massive riots in the streets, the miscarriage of justice and the consolidation of gay power and gay hope.
Singer is expected to start work on the film once he wraps up filming Superman Returns.

If it hasn't been cast, or suggested yet - Adrian Brody would BE Harvey Milk.
