News > It's Gonna Be 2000 Again With 'Recount'

From Variety: 

Oh man. It's like a nightmare…HBO Films is bringing "Recount," a script about the 2000 presidential election debacle to life. Acclaimed director Sydney Pollack will direct.

The pic, written by actor and first time screenwriter Danny Strong, will show the Florida recount from Election Day to the Supreme Court's ruling for George Bush five weeks later.

My gut reaction? Too soon. But then I realized that was seven years ago. Holy…crap. A lot's happened since then and no matter what your political leanings, this one could be good.
