Actress Eliza Dushku is stepping behind the camera to make a new movie about controversial late photographer Robert Mapplethorpe.

Dushku is teaming up with her brother Nate for the biopic of Mapplethorpe, who died of AIDS-related illnesses in 1989.

Mapplethorpe was famous for his gay and erotic photographs, as well as images of celebrities like Andy Warhol, Deborah Harry, Richard Gere, Peter Gabriel, Grace Jones and Patti Smith.

*More recently, some of his work appeared in 2005's V for Vendetta in a scene where a homosexual television host has his photographs hanging in a secret room of his mansion.

Probably not, Whedon and Dushku seem to be cursed on television; Firefly and Tru Calling.

I really like Dollhouse. But I have feeling Fox will axe it because it doesn't have high ratings.

I really liked Tru Calling. I wish they'd had time to resolve the storyline
before it got axed.
