Ryan Murphy has scored a $5 million deal with Sony Pictures to write and direct another feature film with Julia Roberts.
The 44-year-old Glee creator worked with Julia on the film Eat, Pray, Love, which will be released in theaters on August 13th! They worked so well together that Sony is eager to pair them together again, according to Deadline.
Ryan is also on the shortlist of directors up for landing the movie adaptation of the Broadway mega-hit Wicked. Other directors being suited are Rob Marshall and JJ Abrams.
Ryan Murphy is urging people to boycott Newsweek for publishing a homophobic article last week, which declared gay actors can’t play straight. (Kristin Chenoweth has already condemned the article.)
The 44-year-old Glee creator issued this open letter (via EW):
“I would like to join my good friend Kristin Chenoweth on her condemnation of a recent Newsweek article written by Mr. Ramin Setoodeh, in which Setoodeh basically says that out gay actors should go back into the closet and never attempt to play straight characters. This article is as misguided as it is shocking and hurtful. It shocks me because Mr. Setoodeh is himself gay. But what is the most shocking of all is that Newsweek went ahead and published such a blatant homophobic article in the first place…and has remained silent in the face of ongoing (and justified) criticism. Would the magazine have published an article where the author makes a thesis statement that minority actors should only be allowed and encouraged to play domestics? I think not.
Today, I have asked GLAAD president Jarrett Barrios to stand with me and others and ask for an immediate boycott of Newsweek magazine until an apology is issued to Sean Hayes and other brave out actors who were cruelly singled out in this damaging, needlessly cruel, and mind-blowingly bigoted piece. An apology should also be issued to all gay readers of the magazine…steelworkers, parents, accountants, doctors, etc…proud hardworking Americans who, if this article is to be believed, should only identify themselves as “queeny” people (a word used by Setoodeh in the article) who stand at the back of the bus and embrace an outdated decades old stereotype.
Mr. Setoodeh has recently Twittered that he is a fan of Glee, the show I co-created with Ian Brennan and Brad Falchuk…the show on which Mr. [Jonathan] Groff plays the straight love interest to Lea Michele, a casting choice embraced by fans and critics alike which Mr. Setoodeh has taken issue with.
I extend an open invitation to Mr. Setoodeh to come to the writers room of our show, and perhaps pay a set visit. Hopefully then he can see how we take care to do a show about inclusiveness…a show that encourages all viewers no matter what their sexual orientation to go after their hopes and dreams and not be pigeonholed by dated and harmful rhetoric…rhetoric he sadly spews and believes in. Hopefully, some of the love we attempt to spread will rub off on Mr. Setoodeh — a gay man deeply in need of some education — and he not only apologizes to those he has deeply offended but pauses before he picks up his poison pen again to work through the issues of his own self loathing. Give me a call, Ramin…I’d love to hear from you. I’ll even give you a free copy of our Madonna CD, on which we cover “Open Your Heart,” a song you should play in your house and car on repeat.

Dianna Agron is red hot in Temperley Londonat the 2010 GLAAD Media Awards held at Hyatt Regency Century Plaza on Saturday (April 17) in Century City, Calif.
During the ceremony, the cast of Glee accepted the award for Outstanding Comedy series.
“We have so much love for our own Chris Colfer, who at age 19 when the media came calling, Chris was true to who he is instead of waiting to announce (that he’s gay) at 40 when it doesn’t matter,” series creator Ryan Murphy said. “This show is about arts education and inclusion, and we are using the show in a great way.
Added Ryan, “Chris’ character will never be the victim. [Next year, his out character] will have a boyfriend, and they are going to be prom kings and be popular.”
Earlier in the day, Dianna continued to knock it out of the fashion ball park in Amanda Wakeley at the 2010 TV Land Awards at Sony Studios in Culver City. On April 12, she donned silver Amanda Wakeley at the Glee spring premiere soiree held at Bar Marmon. She accessorized with Juicy Couture’s button shower earrings.
