Rodham
is
a
biopic
based
on
the
life
of
Hillary
Diane
Rodham
Clinton.
The
movie
is
now
under
the
pipeline
and
the
casting
of
an
actress
for
the
title
has
sparked
a
fiercest
debate
in
the
Hollywood
circle.
Jessica
Chastain,
Reese
Witherspoon,
Amanda
Seyfried,
Scarlett
Johansson
and
a
few
other
actresses
have
reportedly
been
shortlisted
for
the
role,
but
the
film
bosses
are
said
to
be
finding
it
tough
to
finalise
a
name.
According
to
reports,
the
movie
will
offer
a
fictionalised
version
of
a
young
Hillary
Rodham
starting
out
on
a
life
path.
It
will
deal
with
events
in
her
life
in
the
1970s
as
she
meets
Bill
Clinton
and
works
in
Washington
DC,
involved
in
the
dramatic
events
surrounding
the
impeachment
of
then
President
Richard
Nixon.
Speculations
are
being
made
in
the
Hollywood
that
the
film
is
Clinton's
potential
bid
to
be
the
first
female
president.
It
is
said
to
be
one
of
her
tricks
for
the
epic
battle
for
the
White
House
in
2016.
Whatever
be
the
motive
behind
doing
this
movie
Rodham,
it
is
going
to
be
a
dream
come
true
moment
for
the
actress,
who
is
going
to
perform
the
role.
This
is
also
going
to
be
a
breakthrough
moment
for
her.
It
also
offers
an
unusual
platform
for
an
actress.
But
the
role
is
going
to
be
very
risky
as
it
is
sure
to
get
a
lot
of
scrutiny.
"The
danger
is
that
they
do
a
bad
job.
It
could
end
your
career.
You
are
playing
someone
so
revered," says
an
expert
from
the
industry.
Meanwhile,
there
is
also
a
serious
debate
going
on
who
might
play
Bill
Clinton
in
the
movie
Rodham,
which
will
be
directed
by
James
Ponsoldt.
Reports
suggest
that
the
names
of
Jake
Gyllenhaal,
Tobey
Maguire,
James
Franco
and
Jeremy
Renner
are
among
the
top
picks
for
the
role.
It
should
be
seen
who
would
be
cast
for
the
roles
of
Hillary
and
her
love
interest
Bill.
