Julianne Moore to play Hilary Clinton

Oscar nominee Julianne Moore is lining up for a role as Hilary Clinton, it was reported.

Moore says that although the film won’t be shooting for quite a while, she is deep in preparation.

“Right now I’m watching a lot of videotape and I’m doing a lot of reading,” she said in TV footage from the food event, Battle Of The Chefs, for which she was a judge.

“I won’t be shooting it for quite a while, so I am at the very, very beginning of my work on it. I have yet to meet with the hair and make-up people. I’m sure there’ll be a wig and make-up and everything like that.”

Moore will work with Dennis Quaid in The Special Relationship to be directed by Peter Morgan.

Dennis Quaid will play Bill Clinton, while Michael Sheen will play Tony Blair in the production.

Moore worked with Quaid in Far From Heaven, directed by Todd Haynes.

“I love Dennis. We had a great time working together and I’m thrilled to be working with him again,” Moore said.
