Well, since the movie’s already done, it’s too late to vote on who plays me. And I seriously doubt they’re even going to refer to me by name. This movie is a lousy effort at historical revisionism, based on Mary Mapes’ self-serving book. Nobody from the production even bothered to contact me - that’s how much they care about telling an accurate story.

If they refer to Little Green Footballs at all, it will be to smear us.

Sorry man. I looked it up on IMDB and saw no “Charles Johnson” (or even “Chank Jackson,” loosely based on real people), so I suspected as much.

I’m guessing the typography scene will be like something out of NCIS, with a photogenic nerd on a workstation, while Cate Blanchett hovers over him and repeatedly barks “Enhance!”.

That does suck, but, as evidenced by the excerpts from Mapes’ book I posted earlier, she has a pretty low opinion of you and LGF in general. She remains convinced the whole thing was a dedicated effort by a group of right wingers to smear her and CBS while protecting the President. The accuracy of the documents is merely a secondary thing.

This is a simple no-brainer. Anybody other than Jeff Bridges would be an error of the highest order of magnitude.

Detroit Local Powers First EV Charging Road in North America The road, about a mile from Local 58's hall, uses rubber-coated copper inductive-charging coils buried under the asphalt that transfer power to a receiver pad attached to a car's underbelly, much like how a phone can be charged wirelessly. ...
