YEEEEEEEEEEA!!!!

This movie sounds awesome (err, not so much):

Warner Bros. is working on a movie "loosely based" on Howard Dean's presidential campaign, and it will star Leonardo DiCaprio and George Clooney. Rumor is Clooney's playing Dean, and DiCaprio's playing "the young, idealistic communications chief," i.e., Joe Trippi. Written by Beau Willimon, a former assistant on the Dean campaign, it's set make its debut on Broadway next fall, where it will feature Jake Gyllenhaal as the communications chief. Oh, and it will be titled Farragut North, named after the Metro stop closest to Prospect HQ. In a twist of fate, Hollywood becomes D.C. for beautiful people.
I wasn't buying what the Dean campaign had to sell in, you know, real life, so I can't imagine it being such a great movie, either. Then again, the movie version of "Primary Colors" wasn't so bad...
