Warner Bros. is working on a movie "loosely based" on Howard Dean's presidential campaign, and it will star Leonardo DiCaprio and George Clooney. Rumor is Clooney's playing Dean, and DiCaprio's playing "the young, idealistic communications chief," i.e., Joe Trippi. Written by Beau Willimon, a former assistant on the Dean campaign, the show will first make an appearance on Broadway next fall, where it will feature Jake Gyllenhaal as the communications chief, before leaping to the big screen. Oh, and it will be titled Farragut North, named after the Metro stop closest to Prospect HQ. In a twist of fate, Hollywood becomes D.C. for beautiful people.
