LOS ANGELES (AP) - A Hollywood director says she's working with actor John Cusack on a movie about conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh.
Director Betty Thomas said Cusack's production company has a script ready that will star the actor as Limbaugh. It's not typecasting: Cusack is an outspoken liberal.
Production is set for next year, Thomas said. The working title is "Rush," Cusack's New Crime Productions confirmed Friday.

Well we know whatever they do it won’t be complimentary or watchable.
attempted hit piece?
I also remember when I first heard Rush. My dad had just bought an old Ford with an AM-only radio, and the only station in our small town had satellite-fed talk.
It was the summer of ‘92, and the Reagan/Bush years were coming to a halt. I was born in ‘79, and had only ever known GOP presidents. I never thought the governor of Arkansas had a chance!
My dad had been a poll watcher, and my grandparents lived next door to a polling place. Elections had always fascinated me. I was a news junkie, but had started waking up to their bias.
When I heard his show, I ate it up. No guests, and lots of crazy skits! The ‘90s were a heck of a lot easier to bear because of him. There was no Hannity, Beck, Fox News, FR, et cetera back then, so he was a godsend.
I had forgotten about the Henry Winkler show until someone posted about it. Back then, Rush was considered a fad that would soon pass!
bump
John Cusack as Rush?
No. Just no. Just for starters, he would die trying to make weight for the part
And his several failed marriages, I am sure.
Of course it would be a hit piece. I was attempting to be cute with using the “if a tree falls....does it make a sound” and adding my own twist...I failed.
This reminds me of Oliver Stone’s movie on George W.
I think the title was “W”...
No, I never watched it and I have no intention to watch it in the future.
Michael Medved reviewed “W”...Medved stated that the film portrayed George W. as very pathetic person...
