HOLLYWOOD HILLZ

Movie About Young Hillary Clinton in the Works

Who should play the youthful Mrs. Clinton in 'Rodham'?

A Hillary Clinton movie is in the works, if you can't not believe it, and it's all about the Secretary of State's early days as a young lawyer in the turbulent 1970s world of sex n' politics:

Dubbed 'Rodham,' the screenplay follows a 20-something Hillary Rodham as she's trying to decide between her career and boyfriend. Her job? The youngest attorney on the House Judiciary Committee working to impeach President Richard Nixon. Her boyfriend? Bill Clinton, who was trying to launch his political career in Arkansas.

The film, dubbed the "#4 hottest unproduced movie in Hollywood" by those in the know, has prompted Gawker to ask just who should play the young Mrs. Clinton. In its typically snarky fashion, it suggests Lena Dunham (not a terrible suggestion), but also Donald Glover (a terrible suggestion), who is in fact not actor Danny Glover's son.

"The film is already in development by Temple Hill entertainment, the folks who brought us/wrought us both Breaking Dawn films," informs Gawker's Caity Weaver. "Now it's time for casting."

Via Politico and Gawker.

Didn't you say Obama would never be re-elected? Seems your track record on such predictions is pretty bad...

@woodtick57 - I also predicted Bush would win his first and second terms. My track record is pretty good, thank you very much. By the way, how's that Benghazi scandal going so far for Hillary?

Does it matter who plays the part of a wealthy , spoiled , hippie-doper chick that had nothing better to do than stick her nose in crap no 19 year old had any experience in . Perhaps if she or they , had concerns of actually having to work & struggle for the educations 'handed' to them , history may have turned out differently. Why are damn near all of these old 'anti-America , anti- establishment' hippy socialists from the 1960's MILLIONAIRES today ?? Isn't that against everthing they protested about ?
It ain't cool , they weren't special - people today are moronic mush-heads to be lulled into their still feeding them money. There are more Dem. millionaires than Rep..

Well I protested the viet nam war, for civil rights and women's rights. But at some point you realize you've lost and hey, if you can't beat them join them. Myself? I would never waste two hours watching a movie about the young Hilary. I'm too busy wasting time here.

Now your against capitalism? Well I suppose that's progress. For all the nonesense you talk about how stupid leftist are it turns out they are better at the game then modt you folks.

Ok, I'll try to explain it to you. Socialist beleive in socialism. That does not mean they are deluded, they are aware they live in a capitalist system. Since that is the case, and they need to survive, they participate in it. That they do so well just means they are smarter then you...

@DARSB I do appreciate the comment. As someone who runs hard left on socialized medicine and hard right on guns and everything in between, I'm generally not the most popular guy at either convention such as this one. So it does mean something. Think I might waste some more time.

In all seriousness a movie about the anti-war movement, with a behind the scenes look at her work on the impeachment committee would interest me, but I suspect it will instead be a sanitized version, to boring to get excited about.

If it really was about the impeachment committee, it would be great. it will probably be 'sexed up' to appeal to the general public, making it boring for anyone above the american idol level of viewing.

@woodtick57 true, i was hoping for something starting with the excitement of anti war organizing, protest, college, maybe a bit of weed and secx transitioning into her becoming involved in the system, taking us behind to scences for a good lincoln or all the presidents men type examination of her more serious work on the impeacement committee, tied together by the wonderful music of that era...

Don't put it past this country's idiocracy to elect her. Inspite of her reluctance to be fourthcoming on Bengazy or the fact that she seems like she can barely handle the stress of being Secretary of State, folks will somehow rationalize that she can handle being president or vote for her anyway without giving a crap.

@woodtick57 She's been avoiding and dancing around the issue, and while I believe this whole blood clot thing may be a ploy to get the Bengazi issue off of her, she has looked delapidated for a while now.

SATAN! When Clinton was Gov I was friends with a State Reps son. The Clinton's were often at their house and I can truly say that Hillary is the rudest most despicable human being I've ever had the misfortune to know. She is pure evil.

@paperdragons81 it was a rant about the ignorant inbred hillbillies in Arkansas. Kind of odd when she was the First Lady of Arkansas at the time. It was some years ago and I can't remember exactly what she said but every time I was around her in private she always was very unpleasant. Mind you I was 17 and not particularly Interested in politics. Bill was interested in duck hunting and likable. I hate his politics but one on one he is at least friendly.

No, I was talking about her sudden illness that took away her voice, I read yesterday she's talking to her staff so I guess she knows sign language, I know how much she wants to tell us what she knows and did, this last several weeks of silence must be horrible to her, I just wondered how the movie will cover that? Maybe just subtitles at the bottom explaining that she couldn't talk?
