HBO making a miniseries on Dick Cheney
March 22nd, 2011 - 11:55 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattLos Angeles, Mar 22 (THAINDIAN NEWS) HBO is reportedly making a miniseries about the former Vice President of the United States, Dick Cheney.
HBO recently announced that they would be making a movie based on the 2008 presidential campaign called “Game Plan”. That has got many people to think that the network is trying to cash in on the stories of some famous Republicans.
According to the report by Deadline Hollywood, HBO would make the movie based on the biography of Cheney titled “Angler”. Angler was written by journalist Barton Gellman. Part of the show would also be based on Frontline’s 2006 documentary about Cheney titled “The Dark Side.”
Few weeks ago HBO announced that it would be making a movie based on the 2008 campaign of John McCain. HBO confirmed that Julianne Moore would be playing the role of Sarah Palin in the movie. The announcement generated controversy partly due to the fact that the movie would be based on a controversial book. “Game Plan” was highly criticized for revealing ‘too much’ behind-the-scenes information. The book particularly touched on the selection of Sarah Palin as the running mate of McCain and the controversy that followed.
HBO has not issued any further details about the new project.
