EXCLUSIVE: Ben Whishaw will reunite with director Ira Sachs to shoot an “intimate” movie about photo artist Peter Hujar.
Until his death from AIDS in 1987, Hujar was a leading figure in the group of artists, musicians, writers, and performers at the forefront of Manhattan’s downtown cultural scene.

In the short, the Paddington star goes on a journey with Marian Bailey (The Crown), a sort of final trip for a son and his mother in an old VW camper van. En route there’s a botched robbery attempt; the only bounty bagged is a pigeon.

Now he’s ventured into film directing. “It’s so thrilling when
