Tom Hanks: HBO show about Trump - Clinton’s election showdown
Based on a book by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, which is currently being written, the miniseries will follow the ups and downs of the pair on the US Presidential campaign trail, reports NME.
Director Jay Roach will return to direct the TV show after the successful TV movie Game Change, also based on a book by Halperin and Heilemann, about John McCain’s 2008 losing election campaign and the race between Clinton and Barack Obama.
The movie aired in 2012 in HBO and starred Ed Harris as John McCain, Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin, and Woody Harrelson as campaign strategist Steve Schmidt.
And Hollywood legend Tom Hanks will act as a producer for the new series, a role he also undertook on Game Change.
HBO’s Len Amato said in a statement: ‘We are thrilled to continue our relationship with Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, whose work on their best-selling book Game Change set the bar for political reporting and storytelling inside a presidential campaign.’
He added: ‘Reuniting Game Change director and executive producer Jay Roach and Playtone producers Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman with Mark and John for a project based on their upcoming book promises to vividly capture the most unique and impactful event in modern American politics.’
