AG Andrew Cuomo sat down for his second extended interview with WAMC's Alan Chartock late last week, and made several interesting points — including a defense of his government service, which Republicans, particularly Rick Lazio, have sought to
cast as a drawback.
It's a
drawback that could be handily remedied on film by softening the acrid edges of Kirn's prose slightly, and refashioning the material
as more of a screwball comedy with a romantic streak — which the
casting of Clooney and female up - and - comer Vera Farmiga suggests (to me, at least) may be on the cards.
