“Great Gatsby” star Carey Mulligan passes on Hillary Clinton biopicJune 12, 2013 - 15:02 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Carey Mulligan will not be stepping into the shoes Hillary Rodham Clinton for Rodham, Temple Hill and The Arlook Group’s biopic of the former first lady, New York senator and secretary of state, The Hollywood Reporter said. The Great Gatsby actress was being courted to play Clinton and, according to sources, was offered the role after meeting with director James Ponsoldt (The Spectacular Now) last week. Insiders, however, say the actress, who just moved from CAA to WME, was not prepared to commit to the role at this time. Sources said Ponsoldt is working with Rodham’s scribe Young Il Kim on a director’s draft and he, along with producers Wyck Godfrey, Marty Bowen and Richard Arlook, will resume the search shortly. Rodham centers on Clinton 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 Clinton. Several actresses' names have been bandied about to take on the widely admired but often polarizing figure, including Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Chastain and Emma Stone.
