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, Comeys 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 administrations 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. Its 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

LOL! Well, follywood so anything anti-Trump is good for them. But a movie about comey? Really? Is daniels that tall or are they going to do up shots and stacked heel shoes.
Jeff Daniels can ESAD, the sooner the better!
Have only seen a few of his movies, not a loss to miss all the rest.
Terms of endearment.
Oh, so they know how this all ends? LOL
Fly away home
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.
Daniels is a psycho moonbat. Perfect casting.
A pompous ass playing a pompous ass? Not a big stretch.
the one in MI?
The same - deer camp, euchre marathons and all.
Hopefully the ending has his perp walk.
Wonder if this could even out draw the Food Network.
Sounds like a total snoozefest.
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?
Gene Simmons called and he wants his shoes back. Who does this idiot think he’s fooling?
