A new project in the works at ABC will be directed by Gus Van Sant, a two-time Oscar nominee for directing “Good Will Hunting” and “Milk.”

Deadline.com reports: “ABC is reassembling the team of the 2008 movie ‘Milk’ for another project about the gay rights movement, eight-hour miniseries ‘When We Rise.’ ‘Milk’ director Gus Van Sant has joined the mini, written/executive produced by ‘Milk’ writer Dustin Lance Black and executive produced by the film’s producer Bruce Cohen.”

ABC has officially given the green light to the project, which has been gestating at the network for more than two years. Van Sant is on board as an executive producer along with directing the first two-hour episode.
