"Leonardo DiCaprio and George Clooney are to star in a film loosely based on the rise and fall of presidential hopeful Howard Dean," according to The Guardian. "The Warner Bros production will be based on a stage-play written by Beau Willimon, a former assistant on the Dean campaign. Entitled "Farragut North"...It tells the tale of a youthful communications guru working for a principled but unorthodox politician who finds himself undone by a slick and corrupt Washington establishment. Currently in rehearsal, Willimon's stage-play is set to open on Broadway in the run-up to the 2008 presidential election. Mike Nichols is directing."
