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.

That’s not Claire Danes.
Envisions Hillary as a raging success because of no entanglements with her corrupt husband? More wildly wishful fantasy - like her reading the acceptance speech she would have given had Trump not beaten her.
Just more crap lies trying to fool voters about how she’d be THIS time (ostensibly without Bill in any significant way) if she were to run again....
Lenny Dunham as Scarlett O’Hara.
LOL, that green icon describes me well when I read “cabbage”...
“Rodham”, a story is of her ordering the deaths of over 50 people that crossed her along with putting in prison the father of Chelsea....
Must miss TV.
