Hulu has passed on “Rodham,” writer-producer Sarah Treem’s adaptation of the 2020 Curtis Sittenfeld novel that’s been in development at the streamer since summer 2020. But 20th Television is still is shopping the project to other streamers, now that Claire Danes and Dakota Fanning are attached to play Clinton at different stages of her life. In the package, Treem will write and executive produce, and James Ponsoldt will direct, with “Handmaid’s Tale” producer Warren Littlefield’s Littlefield Co. behind it.
The news of the shuffle for Rodham comes a few days before the TV industry gathers in New York from May 16-19 for the ritual of upfront presentations from the major content players.“Rodham” — published in May 2020, and a New York Times bestseller — imagined an alternative universe in which Hillary Rodham Clinton met and dated Bill Clinton at Yale Law School, but never married him. Instead of the life Clinton has actually led, in “Rodham,” she goes on to thrive as a Northwestern University professor, and launches an eventual presidential run in 2016. Real-world events — such as rape accusations against Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump as a significant figure in politics — also play out in Sittenfeld’s novel, but in vastly altered ways.

A sweeping epic saga portrayed by two of the greatest actors of our time.
No one cares about the Clintons since Trump beat her while she blew 750B.
There’s Claire Danes hot, then there’s Hillary.
Who is 750B?
Does Huma know about him?
(ducks)
ROFL
Clair Danes is an attractive woman. This does not compute.
Gad. Just the thought of that Pant Suit that smells like stale urine...(((shudder)))
Netflix is cutting back, Hulu has passed, Amazon i think is a question mark. So that leaves Paramount+, HBOMAX, a few others. Hillary is just Toxic and will remain so. No one really wants a movie about her fantasy life that she dreams about every night.
when a deep state succubus like hulu passes on laundering a few bucks with hitlery’s screed, you KNOW she’s dead.
dead
I guess having your felonious pals like winestine and buck imprisoned has consequences.....
Hulu doesn’t want it. Just the number of actors who have to be Arkancided would break the budget.
PU.
Another possibility is that drip..drip...drip of evidence of wrongdoing could turn into a flood at any moment, devaluing the series and becoming an embarrassment to the owner. Red or blue, woke or not...these services are in business to make money and only see green. There are plenty of other lower-risk ideas out there.
And old, boiled cabbage…
🤢🤮
Wouldn’t Lenny Dunham be a better choice to play the cold unt ?
Brad Pitt is playing Webb Hubbell.
Ungh. Entertainment industry is just rampant with democrap fluffery, wokeness, and leftist/feminist narratives.
