Jonathan Recounts

Sydney Pollack is directing a new film for HBO all about the Floridian electoral chaos in 2000, appropriately called Recount. Amazingly (though I'm wrong to be amazed) the screenwriter is Danny Strong - the same Danny Strong who played Jonathan on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Seems that his ascendency from background artiste to foreground figure has finally been completed. Congratulations, Danny.

I'm hoping Pollack nails this one. There's every chance he will. It's one hell of a story.
