Who will play Hillary

Will This Movie About Hillary Clinton Get Made?

One of the most intriguing scripts described on this year’s “Black List”—a yearly round-up of the most popular unproduced screenplays in Hollywood—is Rodham, written by Young-Il Kim. The scripts are ranked according to their popularity among a group of Hollywood executives, and Rodham is near the very top, at no. 4.

Meryl Streep of course

I mean Streep is close to the same age as Hillary. If you want to do a younger Hillary you need someone else.
