"I Am Michael" is one of the LGBT films to be featured in the upcoming 2015 Sundance Film Festival, which will run from Jan. 22 to Feb. 1.
Directed by Justin Kell, "I Am Michael" features the real-life story of Michael Glatze, a gay activist turned Christian pastor played by "The Interview" star James Franco. It also stars Emma Roberts, Zachary Quinto, Daryl Hannah, Leven Rambin, Avan Jogia and Devon Graye, among others.
In an LGBT related story, in 2014, "Fury" was created as a war drama but was interpreted by some as a film with gay characters.
"Fury" director David Ayer told Screen Crush, "You see that in a world where guys who laid down their lives for each other and that's that thing, closer than brothers, the brotherhood and all that stuff. People don't f---ing get it unless they've lived it. So, for guys in the service, it's like, 'I know what that is.'"
The director emphasized that "Fury" is totally asexual and it is really that closeness and the bonds of combat that make the characters War Daddy and Bible appear to be a gay couple.
On the other hand, Pitt himself is an LGBT community advocate.
Years ago, the 50-year-old actor vowed he would not get married unless it was legal for gay couples to legally get married in the country, as well, pointing out that it was a no-brainer to him as the basis of the United States is equality for everyone.
However, he recently got married to the Angelina Jolie in a private ceremony.
In the November issue of British GQ, the "Fury" actor said that marriage is not just a title because there is "more to it than that."
