As I’ve mentioned before, everything about this project is moving in the right direction. We have Aaron Sorkin returning to politics and TV, it’s on HBO, Greg Mottola directing the pilot, and Jeff Daniels as a cable pundit. Screams awesome, right? Now it’s screaming through a bullhorn: Marisa Tomei is in talks to join as a news producer and a potential love interest for Daniels. Couldn’t be better, right? Well let me throw this bit of speculation in your face: since this is HBO and Tomei has a propensity to take off her clothes, well, you do the math.
