I love Wil Smith, but he is over-exposed as an actor to play someone current. Harry would give a realism to the film that would be remarkable.

Now in terms of Michelle -I think for once, it would be so much more interesting to find an unknown actress who not only has great acting chops but also looks like Michelle Obama! Why do we always have to see the same usual suspects (Halle, Angela, Gabrielle, Sanaa, Jada, Regina and now Taraji) playing every single part for a Black Woman no matter how tall or what shade of brown she is?? Box office draw is no excuse! If the movie is well made and compelling, it will not make one dime of a difference at the box office if the actress who plays Michelle is an unknown and paired with a 'known' actor playing Barack (i.e. Harry Lennix is the closest resemblance; Hill Harper probably knows the entire story best BUT...Will gets what Will wants! Note to any filmmaker thinking about doing a feature on The Obamas: Find an unknown matched with a known to create the next classic romance film!!! P.S. There's a woman in Los Angeles who is a DEAD RINGER for Michelle! HARRY LENNIX - YES HE CAN PLAY BARACK!

The entire film takes place in a run-down Italian factory that stands in for the state of American politics today.

Will Smith, in full Pursuit of Happyness look, plays Jesse Jackson. Whoopi Goldberg plays Michele, and in flashback, Obama is played by Hill Harper. The film is a what-if assassination scenario. James Woods, in fat suit and CGI-enhanced makeup, plays Bill. Kathy Bates with a hammer plays Hillary. No! Hayao Miyazaki directs. It's a beautifully rendered cartoon with voices by Eddie Murphy, Jada Pinkett Smith, Charlize Theron, Larry the Cable Guy and Cedric the Entertainer. Regina King is the voice of Obama and Macy Gray is the voice of Michele. Michele is depicted as a big Japanese cat with Weave(TM). Bill Clinton is a bear that also serves as a pick up truck.
