Still can't believe we have a new project and Michelle's first TV series. Some talented people involved. Wonder when this will go in to production?

I'm happy that it's with Showtime. They seem to still believe in producing physical media for fans so us collectors will be able to have this on blu-ray when all is said and done

It's just a shame that Michelle won't have any scenes with Viola and whoever is cast as Eleanor. Wonder how many episodes there will be. Susanne likes 6 so I think it might be that.

So happy Susanne Bier will direct Michelle, so many years after the aborted Chasing Montana project

The writer said on twitter on the casting of Eleanor;
Someone very exciting wants to play you Detective, but she is very busy. Hopefully can share soon.
Could be Meryl as she is filming currently.

This is so exciting! I was a little worried that she's going to take the American Horror Story or the glorified supporting role route. So relieved it turned out to be this.
That said, I wish she'll get this kind of role in her next movies. I feel like she needs to play a real person in her next movie in order to really be a serious awards contender. Or have some kind of affliction. hehe.

Stellar talent on this project and it has great potential.
I'm hoping anthology in this case doesn't mean three one hour episodes per First Lady but this is exciting and unexpected casting IMO.
She's back on the radar again and let's keep it that way.

It says it was ordered to Series so think we should get more than 3 episodes. Maybe 6/8 episodes.

It's not like it was ever gonna be seen by her anyways lol Well, Dennis Quaid played Clinton and has a Reagan movie coming up. Plus, he was set to play George W. Bush in the American Crime Story season about Hurricane Katrina before that was nixed. And I think he played his own President too in one movie. So if she did end up playing more than one presidential spouse, there would be precedent if she went that route. No pun intended.

She's back on the radar again and let's keep it that way. Yeah, she's cast a little bit against type (same with Wizard of Lies). She's not the first actress I think of when I think of Betty Ford. Hopefully, this would be a great opportunity for her to expand other casting people's perceptions of what she could do.

It's possible there's going to be some kind of theme every episode, and there's going to be intercutting scenes of the 3 first ladies every episode. Or maybe, 2 episodes each for every first lady?

Personally I’m hoping for something like The Hours split over 8 1 hour episodes. I’m excited
*Not content wise obvs, just how the stories are edited together.

Ahh... that fresh project smell. I'm so excited for this and it's great to see her doing a limited series (Something we have all wanted her to do).
I think we might be seeing two episodes dedicated to each First Lady: (1-2) Michelle Obama, (3-4) Betty Ford, (5-6) Eleanor Roosevelt.
It seems one of the producers worked on 'Otherhood', so perhaps she has just been looking for the next project to star her original cast. Talk about dodging a bullet. The only real negative so far is that she won't actually be starring opposite Viola Davis.
Fingers crossed for another Emmy/Golden Globe nomination.

Finally a project has arrived that really convinces me including the director and the entire cast ... I agree, it would be great if the film followed a similar partition to the film "The Hours" that compares and romantically connects women from different eras

Lol I've done too much leg work on it too...other than managing to get ahold of Rosalynn Carter herself, to stop. Plus, I'm enjoying it too much to give it up. Lol

I can picture a montage in the last scene with flashes of the three of them from different moments during each of their tenures lol

I think it will be 6 episodes and 2 for each character. Eleanor Roosevelt, Betty Ford and then Michelle Obama.

2 episodes would be very disappointing to me. Hard to fit enough stuff in, could lead to it feeling rushed and incomplete.

One of the major pluses of tv is having more time to develop the character & the story. If it’s just a 2 ep thing, that’s just 3 TV movies that weren’t good enough to standalone :/
