Capturing Capote

Baldwin author speculates about 'In Cold Blood' era through graphic novel

When Ande Parks was explaining the idea for "Capote in Kansas" to his publisher several years ago, he unwittingly made a suggestion that proved prophetic. "I actually joked we could pitch it with Philip Seymour Hoffman because he was the only guy in Hollywood I could even think of as playing Truman Capote," Parks says. Now the film version of "Capote" - which opens in Lawrence today - has earned five Oscar nominations, including best director, best picture and a best actor nod for Hoffman.
