Cinema Science

Earlier in the week I posted a story about the follow up to The Queen that will center on former U.K. prime minister Tony Blair's relationships with U.S. presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. I mentioned that it will be interesting as to who they cast in the former presidents roles, The Guardian has a few ideas.

Sheen will once again reprise his role as Blair, natch, but there's no news yet on other casting. So who do you think Morgan and co should call on for the key US roles? Chris Cooper gave us a pretty nifty quasi-Bush in John Sayles' Silver City, while Ned Beatty's corrupt scumbag senator in Shooter was more or less Cheney by another name. Then there are the Democrats: how about Michael McKean as Gore? And I always thought Patrick Duffy was a bit of a ringer for Clinton, though he may not quite have the gravitas...
