Julianne Moore in Hillary Clinton's shoes

New Delhi (ANI): Julianne Moore has reportedly been roped in to play Hillary Clinton in a new movie Special Relationship. According to reports, the The Children of Men actress will share the frame with Dennis Quaid, who will portray former U.S. President Bill Clinton.

The film will explore the relationship between Tony Blair, played by Michael Sheen, and Bill between 1997 and 2000. It will also tell the story of how Bill's 'inappropriate relationship' with Monica Lewinsky cost him his place in the White House, reports the China Daily.

A source said: "This is a big role for both of them. Playing Hillary, a wife who stands by her unfaithful husband, will be something she can get her teeth stuck into."

The movie would be the final one in the political trilogy written by Peter Morgan, after The Deal, based on Tony Blair's rise to power in the British Labour party, and The Queen, which depicted the reaction of the British Royal Family following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997.

Hillary Rodham Clinton was constantly, aggressively, looking to create programs that changed the lives of ordinary people in tangible ways. She was familiar with DC in her own right because of the work she had done - not because she was born connected or married right. She was still the one in DC working with the Reagan administration on the budget cuts to the Board Of Legal Services. She was still the one who went to DC to find funding for health care clinics. Her paper on children's rights is authored by Hillary Rodham - it's her name that is there.

Actually David, Bill Clinton would not be where he is if it weren't for Hillary Rodham Clinton. Do yourself a big favor and start researching Hillary's accomplishments which had nothing to do with Bill Clinton's influence. After law school, she did a one year internship at the Children's Defense Fund, which resulted in her writing "Children Under The Law" - to this day, one of the most cited briefs on the subject. She joined the board of the CDF, not as a well-connected off-spring, but as one of the most brilliant young attorneys of her generation. She served on the panel of Watergate. Once she moved to Arkansas, she opened a legal aid clinic for lower income families dealing with family issues. She was asked to join the board of the Corporation Of Legal Services, which does similar work as her legal aid clinic, and was quickly made chair of the Board. During her time, the Reagan administration sought to cut the budget. Clinton went to DC, and not only prevented the cuts (again, not using a family name either), but actually sold them on expanding the budget. Back home, she discovered that rural Arkansan's didn't have access to healthcare because building clinics in isolated areas is not financially viable. She returned to DC, and rounded up money to build healthcare clinics in the countryside. Headstart was, as ever, overbooked, so she developed a home schooling program for parents who couldn''t get their kids into headstart. She took on the teacher's union - a job no Democrat wants to touch - and succeeded in getting new standards in place for teachers. On and on like that. The microloans, her work as First Lady of US - she was one of the foremost advocates for the administration in both development and execution of policy.
