Rush Limbaugh biopic to trash radio host

From worstpreviews, According to Deadline, writer/producer James Sclafani (a registered Democrat) has put together a script for a feature film about the life of conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh.

The new movie will be based on "The Rush Limbaugh Story: Talent on Loan from God," an unauthorized biography by journalist Paul Colford. Sclafani is currently looking for financing. Limbaugh will not be involved with the project.

The writer said that his script is similar to Oliver Stone's George W. Bush biopic "W," in that he tries to get beneath the surface politics and controversies and down to the ambition and demons that drove Limbaugh's success.

"This is 'Citizen Kane' meets 'Private Parts,' where you have a man who always had trouble relating to people in the outside world, but does it effortlessly in the booth," said Sclafani, adding that Limbaugh is the proverbial fat kid, ignored in high school, and determined to prove everyone they were wrong about him. "There's this anecdote about a game of spin the bottle in high school. The bottle pointed at him, and the pretty girl who was supposed to kiss him ran away, and that stayed with him."
