Move over, John Travolta!

There's a new Bill Clinton movie coming out, and Golden-Globe nominee Dennis Quaid has been tapped to play Bubba. Fresh off the set of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Quaid will be playing Clinton as president, opposite Julianne Moore as the First Lady.

Needless to say, the film will be addressing the most fascinating part of the Clinton presidency: the man's tumultuous, headline-grabbing relationship with ... Tony Blair.

Dennis Quaid will star as President Clinton, Michael Sheen will portray British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Julianne Moore will play Hillary Clinton in "The Special Relationship," an HBO film about the unique and sometimes turbulent political relationship between the newly installed PM and the U.S. president.

The film isn't greenlit yet but is expected to mark the directing debut of "Frost/Nixon" playwright Peter Morgan, who wrote the screenplay.

Personally, we would have gone with Randy Quaid to play Clinton, but we're sure that Dennis will do just fine.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
