Michael Sheen could be about to pull on Tony Blair's red tie for a third time, since screenwriter Peter Morgan is currently developing a follow-up to The Queen.
The third project in the series – following TV's The Deal, which dealt with Blair's relationship with Gordon Brown, and the Oscar-winning The Queen – will depict Blair's dealings with American Presidents Bill Clinton and George W Bush. The focus will be Blair's reaction to the transfer of power from his natural liberal ally Clinton to the far more conservative Bush. The film is unlikely to feature Helen Mirren again, although Michael Sheen is very likely to return.
So who the hell should play George Bush? Jon Culshaw? A monkey in a suit? This slightly mouldy yogurt I just found at the back of the fridge?
