| Jay Roach with Julianne Moore who played Sarah Palin in Game Change. |
While Game Change director Jay Roach may no longer be working on that HBO movie about the 2016 election, he’s sticking to the Trump beat for his next project. Roach has been tapped to direct and executive produce the television adaptation of Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, EW has learned.
Roach’s past dealings with politically charged dramatizations paid off with Emmy after Emmy after Emmy. He has four in total — two for HBO’s Recount (about the recounts in Florida after the 2000 presidential election) and two for Game Change (about John McCain and running mate Sarah Palin). Roach also earned two Emmy nominations for his Lyndon B. Johnson biopic, All the Way.
Based on the track record, might he have another potential awards contender with Fire and Fury?
Okay well I'm certainly loving this, Roach did a great job with Game Change.
But I bet there is somebody who is spitting nails over this news.
Yep, that's her.
G. You should make do a compilation of Donald's and Palin's funny faces. I get a kick out of how that camera catches their crazy.
ReplyDeleteTheir donkey faces side by side are a personal fave of mine!
DeleteGame Change was fantatic. And even though I already KNEW the outcome; KNEW we lost...well, right up to the end, that movie had me hoping that somehow the outcome would be different. ...Sigh...
ReplyDeleteHuh?
DeleteLike the stage with Sarah Palin wanting to give her own concession speech collapsing and killing the entire Palin family? And a third of the McCains?
DeleteWish it would have ended with McCain's apology for foisting Palin on the nation.
DeleteStill waiting for that one.
Alaskans knew that Game Change was a true and accurate depiction of Sarah Palin - much to her chagrin! The book was a beat seller and one I devoured. Palin's never been the same since!!! (i.e. a mental case, liar and fraud - much like her buddy, Trump!)
ReplyDeleteWhat's making me smile is that Mark Halperin has disappeared without a trace. I never finished Fire and Fury but I think it will make great television.
ReplyDeleteRussian Roulette is what's keeping my attention and then Comey's book will drop... it's funny imagining Trump's poorly-educated having to read all these real books by real people because they themselves are concerned about WTF will happen next- I don't believe even they will be able to sit tight and wait for the telemovie or mini series.
Trump can't read remember and doesn't read! Someone will have to tell him about the books that is close to him - i.e. his kids.
DeleteFox News will tell him all he needs to know -- then he'll tweet to his base what they're supposed to think.
DeleteThey won't read. They can decode well enough but they need the Fox Faux to tell them what they read and what it means. They can't tell whether the reporting is accurate or not. So when they're told fake news and be angry, they are.
DeleteJust pitiful.
This is a dumb post.
ReplyDeleteWhat is dumb about it?
DeleteRecycling crap about an idiot who hasn't been relevant in eight years.
Delete@1:45 PM That makes you even dumber for commenting about it, troll.
DeleteShe made 15illottn K at tehat RiTHUG onvention. We whack until the mole is dead and buried (politically speaking.)
Delete2:56 - So his new project isn't something to mention because 8 years have passed? How do you define relevant? Is it something you lose never to regain no matter what you do? Palin is the idiot. You are confused.
DeleteI wasn't aware until I read this post that Fire and Fury was headed to television with a multiple Emmy award winning director of political docudrama.
DeleteThe post is 100% relevant. The poster at 1:45 PM is not.
Theodore Malloch, the author of a forthcoming pro-Trump book and an ally of Nigel Farage, a former leader of Britain’s UK Independence Party, said in a statement emailed to Reuters on Friday by the book’s publisher that he was questioned by FBI agents when he landed at Boston’s Logan International Airport on Tuesday after a flight from London and served with a subpoena to appear before the grand jury.
ReplyDeleteMalloch “is scheduled to testify in Washington D.C. on April 13th under Robert Mueller’s Grand Jury investigation,” Hector Carosso, a representative of Skyhorse Publishing, said in a separate email.
Malloch’s book, “The Plot to Destroy Trump: How the Deep State Fabricated the Russian Dossier to Subvert the President,” is scheduled for publication on May 1.
Mueller is investigating possible illegal coordination between Trump and his 2016 campaign and Russia. Trump and Russia have denied any collusion. The FBI and Mueller’s team had no comment on Malloch or events at the airport in Boston.
Malloch said in his email that the FBI presented him with a document authorizing the agents to seize his cellphone. He said he handed it over and later was told the FBI had to send it to Washington for a “full assessment.”
He also said the FBI questioned him for about an hour about his career, government security clearances, and academic credentials. He said the agents then asked him about his role in the Trump campaign, which he said was informal and unpaid.
He said they also questioned him about his contacts with Trump supporter and political consultant Roger Stone, the WikiLeaks website and Jerome Corsi, a contributor to conspiracy theory websites.

Sounds like he is one of the leakers :) since he is blabbing what they questioned him about.
DeleteImagine the TV we're going to get out of Trump's Russian conspiracies, they'll be a goldmine for years.
DeleteIs it going to be on the FICTION list?
Delete125, I, too, wanted the outcome different, like if Steve and, what is her name? could have opened up with the full truth. Like they only told part of the story and now look what happened? They could have saved us from this horrible treasonous time with Spanky and his gang.
ReplyDeleteRatings, polls, likes, votes matter to Trump. If the new film is a success he will take the credit.
(Roseanne) "I watched and, yes, Jackie is portrayed as crazy and stupid while Roseanne is still the same overbearing loudmouth convinced she's always correct. Her "apology" is predictably, "I forgive you". The family grew, Roseanne did not."

Roseanne Barr is pro-gun — but only for women
https://fellowshipofminds.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/roseanne.jpg
Roseanne is an idiot. I could careless about her show, which I didn't watch since they killed the interest with all the promos.
DeleteWhat I do care about is Roseanne thinks she is entitled to spread the nasty rumor about the Parkland Student Hogg and the Nazi salute.
She has no sense of civility and she is an adult bullying a teenage.

DeleteShe is infamous for her being inappropriate,

3:08 - the crass character she plays is actually her. She's trash.
DeleteNever liked either of her loudmouth characters, the real one or the TV one. If you go back to when she first became nationally famous you'll see she made the most insane claims, such that she couldn't possibly not have been suffering a mental illness. I can see why she and Trump have always liked each other, neither has a grip on reality.
DeleteIf I want to see ugly people abusing each other in the guise of entertainment, I'll stick to The Simpsons- at least they have Lisa.
3:27/3:43 PM - perhaps her RAH RAH conservative fans should be reminded of her ghastly National Anthem performance topped off by spitting?
DeleteHollywood must be desperate.
Roseanne is a disgusting loudmouth, she does not speak for anyone in America. Not surprised she sleeps with trump. Hawaiians should kick her ass off the islands. She does not fit in there.
DeleteI never watched more than a few episodes of Rosanne, wasn't sure why anyone would want to watch a white trash blue collar family in a filthy home complain about shit?
DeleteEven without seeing Game Change it was obvious Palin is an ignorant dunce. I actually think she is worse than the movie portrayed. Her nastiness is vile.
ReplyDeleteThey and even the book were much kinder to Sarah Palin than she deserved, and I'm sure that that was because both campaigns struggled to accept and believe the depth of her ignorance.
DeleteBut it was a great campaign, full of thrills for us and spills for Sarah. Her mental and verbal pratfalls, the discovery of her greed with OPM (silk boxer shorts, anyone?), the Wooten scandal, her idiot daughter unable to keep her legs together... it was one scandal after another, there'll never be another campaign like it.
But at least Sarah is still providing laughs for the rest of the world, with her family brawls and her violent brats randomly mating in the bushes and slowly breeding Alaska out of existence..
She made her millions, and there’s always some group that will find her a “headliner” draw so she can feel relevant while people in the audience talk over her. “SHUT UP AND LISTEN!”
Deletesmooches, dingbat.
Facebook, Google Lobbyist: Trump's ‘Great for Business’
ReplyDeleteAn influential lobbyist for the tech trade group that also reps Apple, Amazon, and Google conceded as much in an interview with The New York Times.

Is trump going to try and have the movie production stopped:)
ReplyDeleteAnd she won't even rate being in this one.
ReplyDeleteJay also directed Austin Powers, Meet the Parents, Mystery Alaska.
ReplyDeleteHe also attended Hoover Middle and Eldorado High School in Albuquerque with Sandra (Castle) Bailey, who started the ultimate Palin fan club, the Earthquake Movement.
On the other hand, Sarah might be ecstatic and on the edge of her seat- hoping to play Hope Hicks.
ReplyDeleteBest comment of the post!
DeleteBut can she steam pants like Hope?
DeleteHow about the shailey tripp story bought by national enquirer, where is that buried?
ReplyDeleteDavid hogg ask McCain about his NRA money.
ReplyDeleteAnd this time no dramatization is needed or fictional additions is needed.
ReplyDeleteWhat was dramatized? The fact that she actually is quite a bit dumber in real life? They went easy on the moron.
Deletebwhahahaha

ReplyDeleteWho is that and why do he need legal fund? Please explain if you are asking for money.
DeleteDoes the Director's Cut of Game Change show the systemic culture of sexual abuse and INCEST within the entire Palin family?
ReplyDeleteTHAT is the elephant in the kitchen of this para-alcoholic cross-addicted dysfunctional tribe. Asking for a friend.
There's 44 comments posted, alongside a pic of Palin, for this thread.
ReplyDelete44 is the Potus that never was McCain.
That image of the yapping ninny never gets old.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't she just go away and do some weed killer commercials or something?
