We all have tremendous respect for you, Frost/Nixon writer Peter Morgan (yes, that is what I call him when we're hanging out drinking espressos and doing the crosswords), but do you really think the Clinton story America is just dying to see dramatized is the relationship between former president Bill and former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair? Unless "The Special Relationship," as they're calling it, involves a special blue suit Mr. Blair kept for no explainable reason without cleaning it, I think there's better Clinton dramatics to be had.

Even if you don't go with the most sensational stories, there is a certain historic Presidential campaign. Hell, tell both stories from her perspective, that should be fun. Casting, should HBO greenlight the film, has Dennis Quaid playing Bill, Julianne Moore taking on the current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Michael Sheen (who played Frost in the aforementioned Frost/Nixon) playing Tony Blair. This would be his third film appearance as Blair, which makes you wonder if more people think Blair looks like Sheen than Blair.

I'll admit it. I'm an Underworld apologist. I know that all three Underworld movies are flashy, derivative and have little to offer in terms of story, suspense or character, but I still love 'em. I caught Underworld 3: Rise of the Lycans yesterday and, save for one of the dumbest sex scenes ever filmed, it was pretty awesome. Michael Sheen was great as a mutant Che Guevara, Bill Nighy's over the top, er, vamping was exceedingly watchable, and director Patrick Tatopoulos really knows how to film dudes shoving swords into other dudes' faces. It was six bucks well spent.

The Underworld movies always leave me wanting more – perhaps because they all hint at a great story but never really deliver it – and more is what we might get. Franchise creator Len Wiseman is dropping hints about a possible Underworld TV series. No deal is in place yet, but I can see Spike or even Sci Fi showing interest in the idea.
