NEW YORK - Cable channel HBO plans to make a movie about the relationship between former President Bill Clinton and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Dennis Quaid is lined up to play Clinton and Michael Sheen is set to play Blair in "The Special Relationship." Julianne Moore is to play Hillary Rodham Clinton.
It would be the third movie for which Sheen has portrayed the British politician, along with "The Queen" and "The Deal." Sheen was also in "Frost/Nixon," written by Peter Morgan. Morgan will also write "The Special Relationship."
Spokeswoman Tobe Becker says HBO hasn't given full approval to the film, but is also working out a co-production deal with the BBC.
