\"MulliganRodham\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Although she was director James Ponsoldt’s first choice<\/a> to headline his Hillary Rodham Clinton biopic Rodham<\/strong>, Carey Mulligan has passed on the project. The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> is stating that even after having met with Ponsoldt last week, the actress was “not prepared to commit to the role at this time.”<\/p>\n

Mulligan headed up the list of possible stars for the film, placing above the likes of Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Chastain and Emma Stone. While I like all three, I am not sure that any of them have the right presence or acting chops to play the role.<\/p>\n

Currently, Ponsoldt is working with writer Young Il Kim on a director\u2019s draft of the 2012 Black List screenplay but will not presumably have to divide his time between that and resuming his search for a lead for the film. Considering what a juicy part the role is, I am sure that actresses are already lining up to meet with him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
