Quaid to Play Clinton: Whaaaa?
This story is all over the trades this morning....
"The political relationship between President Bill Clinton and British Prime Minister Tony Blair is the focus of a movie for HBO penned by "Frost/Nixon" writer Peter Morgan, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
If "The Special Relationship" gets the go-ahead, Dennis Quaid will play President Clinton and Julianne Moore will portray Hillary Clinton, with "Frost/Nixon" star Michael Sheen as Blair.
This would be Sheen's third screen portrayal of former British PM Blair. He played him in two Stephen Frears movies written by Morgan: 2003's "The Deal" and 2006's "The Queen."
If the project is green-lighted, Morgan will make his directorial debut with the film."
And if you are like me, you're wondering...why Dennis Quaid (!)....instead of THIS Guy:
