Homo Hamlet: Jude Law gets swirled up!

Who knew Jude Law could make such a fierce drag queen? Granted, we've seen the uncut actor "hanging out" (so to speak) previously, but this time (s)he looks as though (s)he's done this sort of dress-up thing before - horrific Amy Winehouse-ish wig notwithstanding.

Before you get your manties in a bunch, it's not like he's doing some full-scale musical revue somewhere or has come out screaming "It's Raining Men." No, the (by all accounts) heterosexual actor gets swirled up for his appearance in director Sally Potter's new film Rage.

The plot centers around a young blogger at a New York fashion house shooting behind-the-scenes interviews and footage for some project he's working on. By all accounts it's a bit of a snore-bore (rather shocking, coming from the woman who brought us the rapturous Orlando), but it does also feature such luminaries as Dame Judi Dench, Steve Buscemi, John Leguizamo, Dianne Wiest, and the familiar-with-drag Eddie Izzard, all interspersed among some oddish newcomers you'll probably never hear from again.

The flick's been given some rather creative premieres, most notably last week at The Box in NYC (which Jude happens to haunt quite a bit, and is helpful in that he's currently on Broadway playing Hamlet) as well as a technical snafu-laden one at the BFI in London. Audience members seem to be more pleased with the way the film is being screened rather that the actual flick (check out director Potter's blog post on NYC here and last Friday's BFI screening here), as reports of walkouts galore are popping up everywhere on the web today. Watch the trailer to get an idea of what you'd be in for.

Still, it looks kinda-sorta interesting, no?
Regardless, any mention of the word "fashion" gets me drooling like a newborn suckling upon a lactating breast.
