NBC Developing Hillary Clinton Miniseries Starring Diane Lane, NBC News Backs Slowly Away…
Mediaite ^ | July 27, 2013 | Evan McMurry

As part of a “year of improvement” portfolio at the network, NBC announced Saturday morning that it was developing a miniseries about Hillary Clinton.

In the proposed series, Clinton would be played by Diane Lane, though the part of Bill has not yet been cast. And while no script is complete yet, NBC said it would air the series before Clinton’s likely 2016 presidential run got going.

The series is one of four major projects announced by NBC—including a remake of Rosemary’s Baby—meant to up the network’s cache, with NBC Entertainment chief Bob Greenblatt that the they “need to be in the event business…. All of (the new projects) have their own event nature.”

NBC’s news entities are already distancing themselves from the project:

What? They couldn’t get Jane Fonda?
Ok, so she’d have to put on a few pounds...

Horror movies are doing well now days. Maybe NBC is just trying to make a buck.

Hate to see a favorite play this role, but, she is Striesand’s daughter-in-law.

Eliot Spitzer would be a good choice to play Bill Clinton.

They both had the same problem.

But Client No. 9 paid for his sexual hanky-panky, before and after the act.

Slick Willy ended up making a fortune from his.

Hillary built a career on being the wronged woman.

Monica Lewinsky gave the world a new name for an old sex act and didn’t make a penny from it.

I think Leonardo DeCaprio should play Bill./sarc

Didn't another network try this in 2008 with Geena Davis as Hillary in a series about the first female president? I can't believe Diane Lane is doing this. I guess she needs the work.

Actually, you may have stumbled onto something.

Barbara Streisand herself would be an excellent choice to play Hillary.
The resemblance is uncanny although Streisand still looks much younger than The Beast.

........would that be the prequel to the Hillary series?

Why do we fund the corrupt media formerly known as mainstream?

Could they survive without our support?

One of the dogs was behind the couch. I’m smelling Hillary or a dog turd. It’s hard to tell the difference.

Wait 30 years and the script will just write itself.

How much you want to bet this “project” never gets off the ground?

News, documentaries, propaganda-all interchangeable terms when applied to NBC.

Gee and Hill looks so much like Diane. Kathy Bates jumps to my mind as the perfect Hildebeast.
