'Trick' Pics

If these photos from the first table read for the sequel to Jim Fall’s 1999 cult favorite -- featuring original leads Christian Campbell and JP Pitoc plus scene-stealers Steve Hayes, Tori Spelling, Miss Coco Peru et al. -- are any indication, we’re in for a “Trick” that’s going to be quite a treat!

The Messenger reports:

In 2018, Fall and the cast celebrated Trick's 20th anniversary in Los Angeles, reuniting for a table read of Fall's screenplay for a potential sequel. They even filmed a musical number for a Kickstarter campaign.

Although the reading "went really well and was really fun," the project was ultimately abandoned by the original movie's producer. "It was very frustrating to put that much work into something and have it not happen," said Fall.

"I was excited to think about a sequel because it is a love story, but it's not ... They only spent one night together, and it was a pivotal night," he explained. "But, I remember saying I wasn't even sure the two of them would end up together the next day. When they went on a real date, would they really get along? I tried to answer that in the sequel. And the answer was no because, in the sequel, they meet 20 years later and then actually fall in love as adults."

The script and table read for Trick 2 are available on Fall's website.

Sequel to Gay Favorite 'Trick' in the Works

TEASER - So this is in the works....... just in time for the 20th (!!!) anniversary of TRICK next year. (Thank you Jayson Rivest for this amazing teaser image) — with Miss Coco Peru and Steve Hayes.

Just over the moon to see this on Facebook today. "Trick" holds such a special place in my heart, having come out right around the time I arrived in New York. I've always described it as "the most romantic movie about a hookup of all time" -- has there ever been a cuter guy than J.P. Pitoc? -- but really it's so much more. That it's never made it to the digital renting stage -- I've been dying to watch it with Damian -- is a crime. Maybe this sequel will finally give it the acclaim it so richly deserves.

Morning Wood: J.P. Pitoc

Logo was counting down the greatest gay movies of all time this weekend, and I happened to catch part its No. 7 pick, "Trick." I remember how swept away I was when I first saw it back in 1999, that a movie about a would-be one-night-stand could be so utterly romantic. It gave me and all the boys in Chelsea hope that Mr. Right might be standing right there at g ready to hook up that night, but also ready fall in love later. It certainly didn't hurt that sexy J.P. Pitoc played the go-go boy of few words Mark.

Sadly, the Queens-born Pitoc, who was romantically linked to Carol Burnett's daughter Erin for a time (how fun of a mother-in-law might that have been?), has only appeared in small parts on a few television shows since then. It would be nice to see more of him.

(I can't help but wonder if J.P.'s nickname is the same as his character Mark's ...)
