Hope Davis is set to replace Julianne Moore as Hillary Rodham Clinton in "The Special Relationship," says The Hollywood Reporter
The story traces the relationship between newly installed British Prime Minister Tony Blair (Michael Sheen) and U.S. President Bill. Clinton(Dennis Quaid) in the late 1990s.
Moore was originally set to play Hillary but has since pulled out due to a scheduling conflict with The Kids Are All Right..
Davis is a great choice both from an acting standpoint and sharing more of a resemblance with Mrs. Clinton than Moore does
The news comes not long after the film's scribe Peter Morgan had opted out of directing the project due to scheduling conflicts. Richard Loncraine will sit in the big chair.
Filming gets underway Monday July 20th in London.
