Na i te marama o Mahuru i muri mai, i honoa a Sean Penn ki te takaro i a Harvey Milk me Matt Damon i honoa ki te takaro i te kaiwhakatuma a Milk, a Dan White. I wehe atu a Damon i muri mai i te marama o Hepetema na nga raruraru whakamahere. Na te marama o Noema, i neke whakamua a Focus Features me te mahinga a Van Sant, a Milk, i te wa i raru ai te kaupapa a Singer ki te patu a nga kaituhi.
