Burning Question: Who should get key roles in the Jack Abramoff movie?
Film based on the disgraced lobbyist's life coming to theaters this fall.
It figures the long-running story of disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff would end this way.
Deadline Hollywood reports that a movie starring Kevin Spacey as Abramoff has found a distributor. That means the film is likely headed to theaters this fall, accompanied by an "aggressive Oscar campaign."
Spacey, an award-winning actor, no doubt will pull off the part of Abramoff with aplomb. But news of the film has us wondering: Who will take on the role of David Safavian, the erstwhile General Services Administration official and federal procurement policy chief who was convicted (then appealed, got a new trial and was convicted again) of lying to federal investigators about his dealings with Abramoff? (That's assuming, of course, that Safavian actually appears in the movie. Sadly, judging from this page, he might not be.)
Feel free to cast your votes below.
