Since my earth-shattering post earlier this week revealing that film writer/director Gus Van Sant (or as I now like to call him, Gus "Mayfield" Van Sant) actually hails from Mayfield, Kentucky a town twenty or so miles from here, I've been on a desperate quest to track him down and insist that he visit Bizzyville for an interview and tell us all just how a guy like himself busts out of a town like Mayfield and rockets to the top of the Hollywood heap? Inquiring minds need TO KNOW. So far, much the same way that the wiley Van Sant managed to escape from the evil backwoods clutches of Mayfield (and with realtively small hair at that), he has also managed to elude me. But I'm not giving up so easily! Oh no! We need some answers around here and pronto.
For now, you'll have to content yourself with this little tidbit from Variety. According to the piece, Van Sant is currently attached to direct the big screen version of the Tom Wolfe psychedelic classic, "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test".

Can't wait to see the Van Sant rant about Mayfield!
