Rush Limbaugh will be the subject of an upcoming movie from
actor and filmmaker John Cusack. The conservative radio host has never shied
away from attention but it could be tough for him to see his likeness portrayed
by an actor who has been outspoken about his liberal views.
Director Betty Thomas told the Associated Press she’s
finishing up the film’s script, and production will start in 2013. The working
title is “Rush.”
Limbaugh, 61, has yet to comment on the news, according to ibtimes.com.
Cusack has been vocal about his critical views toward
President Bush and President Obama’s policy of drone warfare in the Middle
East.
Limbaugh has been in the news of late for his recent
sparring match with NBC news anchor Brian Williams. Limbaugh attacked New
Jersey Governor Chris Christie for working together with President Obama in the
Hurricane Sandy relief efforts. On his daily show Limbaugh said the two had a
“man love” and that Christie “has gone overboard in praising a failed
president.”
Williams said on his show “Rock Center” that Limbaugh went
too far by being too critical of the Obama administration after the devastation
Sandy caused.
