Dennis Quaid And Julianne Moore To Play The Clintons

NEW YORK — Dennis Quaid is lined up to play former President Clinton with Julianne Moore as Hillary Clinton for a movie, "The Special Relationship," that HBO is working on.

The special relationship is between Clinton and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Michael Sheen is set to play Blair. It would be the third movie for which Sheen has portrayed the British politician, along with "The Queen" and "The Deal." Sheen was also in "Frost/Nixon," written by Peter Morgan. Morgan will also write "The Special Relationship."

Spokeswoman Tobe Becker says HBO hasn't fully given the green light to the film, but is also working out a co-production deal with the BBC.

Rebecca DeMornay looks more like Hillary than does Julianne Moore.
Rahm Emmanuel will play the part of the stained blue dress.

Hope Davis is the only choice!

OMG you're right! Spot on!

[Promise]

Hope Davis looks just like her!

I hope this is good. Because most of the movies HBO does really are not that good.

[ConquestMelee]

Which movies in particular? I think the vast majority of their work is the definition of quality. Movies and Miniseries produced by HBO are not beholden to the money-lusting powers of mainstream cinema. Instead they allow filmmakers to focus on their vision.

Really?

I have yet to see a bad flick from HBO. Just some better than others and their recent release of TAKING CHANCE was just one of the best. If you haven't seen it, do so and make sure you have plenty of tissue handy.

[EHarold]

cool! Do they show the part where a million Iraqi babies starved to death due to Bill's sanctions?

[siri2k]

Ick!
We don't really want to see either of them, in movies, on TV or anywhere else in the world for that matter.
Let's hope HOBO nixes the whole project.

I really thought when I first read that title that this was going to be a really mean story about bill and hill. wow, glad it's not. but i still don't know if i want to see it.

[rockyersocksoff]

Please. God. No.

[RODERICK098]

Ann Coulter as Ken Starr

[Mattie]

lol!

[RonNYC]

meryl streep should have done it.
she was wonderful in the manchurian candiate as a senator based on hillary.

[RODERICK098]

RonNYC the right wing put that out there as they threw everything they could at the Clintons to see what would stick. The film makers and Meryl Streep denied it was based on Hillary. For your information the book the movie was base on was written in the fifties and the first time it was filmed was in 1962. More lies by the right. When will you people start basing your opinions on facts.

Rebecca DeMornay as Hill -- looks just like her

[lillibelle]

Yes! You are so right.

[Beachrunner]

Julianne Moore as Hillary? Too funny. She's only about 1,000 times better looking (not to mention at least 75 pounds lighter in the hips and buttocks) than Shrill Hill.

[UnknownSoldier]

Who is going to play Vernon Jordan, I say Don Chedale

[TheJokeIsOnUs]

To help get into character, Quaid is watching one of earlier films, "Great Balls of Fire!"

[Rigso]

Hmm Glenn Close or Mery Streep should play hillary HELLO! Bill Paxton as bill...

[firewmn]

I agree with Glenn or Merly.. but still thinking who should have been Bill.... Maybe James Bond guy Daniel Craig... or even loud mouth Russell Crowe....

[kbutler]

I always thought Renee Zellweger would play Hillary

[rain33]

what?.will it show their true colors towards citizens, politicans etc..

[Forester]

DQ was a W supporter from TX.
Low points for smarts.

[partyofone]

may be a good qualificaiton. Bill has a keen mind, but doesn't always think with it. :)
