One Of BUFFY’s
Nerds Of Doom Has Written Sydney Pollack’s Next Movie!!

I am – Hercules!!
Danny Strong, who played Nerd of Doom Jonathan Levinson on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” (and continues to play former Yale Daily News editor Doyle McMaster on “Gilmore Girls”), wrote the screenplay for the HBO movie “Recount,” to be directed by Sydney Pollack (“Jeremiah Johnson,” “Tootsie,” “The Interpreter”). “Recount” is about the turmoil precipitated in Florida by the 2000 Bush/Gore presidential race. More than 175,000 Florida voter ballots were rejected, and George Bush won the state – and the national election - by 537 certified votes. From Monday morning’s Hollywood Reporter:
Strong, whose acting credits include "Gilmore Girls" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," pitched the idea for "Recount" to [producer Paula] Weinstein a year and a half ago. Weinstein and longtime Spring Creek executive Len Amato then took the project to HBO. To write the script, Strong did detailed research, including conducting numerous interviews with people involved in or affected by the recount, Weinstein said.
It’s not entirely clear whether “Recount” might get a theatrical release before it hits HBO. HBO projects “Elephant” (2003) and “Maria Full of Grace” (2004) were both distributed theatrically by Fine Line before they hit the channel. Pollack hasn’t directed a TV project since the 1960s – before HBO even existed. Read more of this here.
