Lee Atwater - The Movie Yep, coming to your town will be a film based on the career and life of Lee Atwater, former Republican national chairman and (insert description here). Jay Mohr is set to star as Atwalter, no word on who will be playing Willie Horton.

Could be a scream. And - oh, no - there will be a deathbed apology scene. Jon Lovitz will have to play Dukakis.

I think this sounds like it could be awesome. I assume it'll be more of a drama than a comedy, though, Mohr's casting notwithstanding. But I don't have a subscription to the Hollywood Reporter -- was anyone else able to read the rest of story, of know about this project from another source?
