Hillary Clinton Biopic Gets Director

The Black List, though ominously named, is actually something of an honor. It’s an annual compilation put together by executives in charge of development at Hollywood studios, of the scripts from the past year that they liked the most… but decided not to license or put into production. It’s not unusual for films from The Black List to get made after appearing on it, in some ways, it’s pretty good publicity. Topping the list at number four last year was Rodham, a biopic about the early adulthood of Hillary Rodham Clinton, former U.S. First Lady, Secretary of State, and very nearly the first female presidential candidate nominated by a major party, and yes, it’s reportedly found a director.

Things We Saw Today: Benedict Cumberbatch Playing Professor Snape

If you’re a Benedict Cumberbatch fan, you probably already know he does a mean Alan Rickman impression. Well, the creators of The Simpsons have decided to utilize that talent for this Sunday’s Valentine’s-themed episode. Not only does he voice Severus Snape, he also does the Prime Minister. Unfortunately, the video is not embeddable, watch a clip over at Entertainment Weekly.

Why Did Hillary Clinton’s State Department Team Edit Bindi Irwin’s Essay On Overpopulation?

Bindi Irwin, the daughter of the late wildlife expert Steve Irwin, has made quite a name for herself over the last few years. She sings, she acts, and yes, she has a great interest in animals and the environment. She was recently asked to contribute to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s site but supposedly had her essay edited so heavily, she asked them to remove it from publication. What gives?

Hillary Clinton Biopic Comes in 4th on the List of Liked but Not Made Film Scripts of 2012

The Black List is a Hollywood insider tradition dating back to the ancient times of 2005 (you know, back when we all thought, if only for one innocently hopeful second, that Episode III might just be a little bit better than I or II and that the new Batmobile looked waaaay stupid). Every year, a group of executives in charge of development at various studios submit lists of the screenplays they read that year that they liked the most… but that also didn’t actually get greenlit for an actual movie. Topping this year’s list are a sports insider drama, the true-crime story of the disappearance of the Beaumont Children, and a bio-pic about Theodore Geisel (that is, Dr. Seuss) and his wife Helen.

And there’s also a bio-pic of our current Secretary of State.
