The Great Gatsby actress is the producers' top choice to play ******* during the formative years of her storied career in public service, according to several sources. Several American actresses' names have been bandied about to take on the widely admired but often polarizing figure, including
Scarlett Johansson,
Jessica Chastain and
Emma Stone. Ironically, the British actress, who was nominated for a best actress Oscar for her starring role in
An Education, has never been mentioned.
Sources tell
The Hollywood Reporter that the actress will have a sit-down with director
James Ponsoldt (
The Spectacular Now), but sources say both sides are eager for it to work.
The indie drama portrays Rodham as a young lawyer on the committee involved in President
Richard Nixon's impeachment, and her juggling a diverging career path with her unresolved feelings for future president
Bill *******.
Young Il Kim wrote the script, which was on the 2012 Black List.
Richard Arlook is producing alongside Temple Hill's
Wyck Godfrey and
Marty Bowen.
Mulligan, whose recent credits include
Shame,
Drive and
Never Let Me Go, will next appear in the Coen brothers'
Inside Llewyn Davis.
She is repped by CAA and Julian Belfrage & Associates in the U.K.
Is there any role left for American actors anymore?
