The film will be based on the book "Rudy!" by The Village Voice senior editor Wayne Barrett.

Hmmm. James Woods is all well and good. But a VILLAGE VOICE editor as the source? I have lost track of how many times the VV has portrayed Rudy as a Nazi on its covers.

These things are always a little comical. Will they hit James' forehead with Nair or just shave it? Hope he doesn't come off as bad as Jon Voigt doing FDR. Woods is great, and I'm always happy to hear of any Hollywood Republican getting work (none of the usual suspects willing to take on this role?) but what kind of title is "Rudy!" for a movie? Wasn't that a football movie just new enough for me to grimace at another movie being called the same thing?

They have to start somewhere and for a cable outlet USA, they probably got a good price for the rights to the article. Of course they will borrow from other sources as well... This happens all the time in Hollywood buy a cheap source and borrow from others...

James Woods will be great in this... He'll keep it honest.
