HBO producing Scorsese-directed Bill Clinton documentary
HBO is producing a documentary about former President Clinton by Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese.
The channel announced Monday that Clinton had given Scorsese full cooperation for the movie.
"I am pleased that legendary director Martin Scorsese and HBO have
agreed to do this film," Clinton said in a statement. "I look forward to
sharing my perspective on my years as president, and my work in the
years since, with HBO’s audience."
HBO officials said the documentary will give Clinton a new chance to reflect on his presidency.
"This documentary, under Marty’s gifted direction, creates a unique
opportunity for the president to reflect on myriad issues that have
consumed his attention and passion throughout both his presidency and
post-presidency," HBO CEO Richard Plepler and programming president
Michael Lombardo said in a statement.
"Through intimate conversations, I hope to provide greater insight into this transcendent figure," Scorsese said.
A title and date for the movie's premiere have not been announced yet, according to The New York Times.
