Jeff Daniels To Play Ex-FBI Director James Comey In CBS Studios Event Mini (tr)
Deadline ^ | October 4, 2019 | Mike Fleming Jr.

Posted on 10/07/2019 9:23:45 AM PDT by EdnaMode

Jeff Daniels will star as former FBI director James Comey in a four-hour CBS Studios event miniseries based on A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies and Leadership, Comey’s New York Times No. 1 bestselling book. The seventh director of the FBI, Comey served from 2013-17, and his book covered his role in helping to change the Bush administration’s policies on torture and electronic surveillance to overseeing the Hillary Clinton email investigation as well as possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, and before that his tenure as a prosecutor of terrorists, mobsters and Martha Stewart. Of course, a big part of the narrative and focus of the mini is his testy relationship with and eventual firing by President Donald Trump.

Filming begins in November and an airdate will be announced later. It’s also still to be decided whether the limited series will air on Showtime, CBS All Access or potentially both.

Billy Ray, who scripted the nonfiction films Captain Phillips, Shattered Glass and the upcoming Clint Eastwood-directed Richard Jewell, adapted the book and will direct the mini. Alex Kurtzman, Shane Salerno and Heather Kadin are the executive producers. The mini is produced by Secret Hideout, The Story Factory and Home Run Productions in association with CBS Television Studios

They are pulling out every single stop they can, even to the point they make a miniseries to indoctrinate people.

They can use DeNiro's high heels if they need them.

How queer. Remember the hassle the makers of an anti-Hillary movie got when they tried to buy ads and the FEC said that was campaign expense?
