That was fast. I wonder if viola's done also? So whats next for Pfeiffer? I actually want her to snag a fun zany role. Why cant she join a female lead ensemble with some other legends and just have some fun! I.E. steel magnolias

They are filming each First Lady block separately and looks like will be a 6 month shoot which is quite a long shoot. Michelle was up first and shot from March-May, Viola is filming now and Gillian will be up last. Susanne will be knackered after this shoot.

I doubt this will air before next year given the long shooting schedule and what has to be a complicated editing process to weave their stories together over all of the episodes.

Kind of odd that Pfeiffer is done filming her part and Viola has already started hers and they are just NOW naming a showrunner lol. Or maybe she has been working on it already and they just got to announcing it maybe.

Is odd they're announcing it half way through filming though

Still wish we knew who was doing cinematography on this.

On a similar note, this series is still listed as being in pre-production on IMDb the last time I checked ha ha

They must nearly be finished filming Michelle Obama's story. Viola has been filming since beginning of May.
Wonder who will play Franklin Roosevelt? Surprised we have had no other casting announcements for Eleanor's story yet.

Amir Mokri has been added as a cinematographer on IMDB. His credits include Man of Steel, some Fast and Furious and Transformers films, Murder Mystery.

Lexi Underwood who plays Viola's daughter in this has put on her Instagram stories of them wrapping. It does seem to be 2 months for each First Lady block. Gillian will be up next and looks like this will wrap late August/early September.

Susanne Bier will need a year to recover from directing this show. What a huge undertaking with different casts, storylines, and then editing all of it together. Hope it's good.

IMDb are showing February 21st as the next episode air date. Nothing has been confirmed and they are still filming but if they are looking for this to air before next Emmy season I imagine this would air around Feb/March.

I don't know why some random person would bother to add a fake date, so I'll choose to believe it's true lol

Yea, I wouldn’t be surprised if we didn’t see this until next spring in time for Emmy consideration, which I’m fine with honestly. It’ll be about a year after French Exit’s release and just under a year before Ant-Man 3 comes out. That’s a bearable space of time between Michelle releases.
But I still want her to film something else after Ant-Man, or at least sign up for something before the end of the year. PLZ!

I gotta say, I'm a little worried that Pfeiffer's Ford part of the series will get overshadowed by the Obama/Viola Davis one. Not saying Viola will give a better performance, but Obama clearly is more popular. I hope she doesn't get all the love and attention when this airs.

Post by babyfacedassassin24 on Jul 5, 2021 7:23:55 GMT -8
Oh, she’ll definitely be overshadowed. Obama is SUCH a popular First Lady and Roosevelt has continuously ranked first in virtually every First Lady poll or survey conducted by political scientists/historians. When they announced Betty Ford, I was like 🤨🤨 You’re putting a rather lackluster First Lady in between two of history’s most famous and beloved…yeahhhhh, ok this will be great 😒

Hopefully with Betty's personal problems this will still give Michelle some decent material to work with.

Kiefer Sutherland cast as Franklin Roosevelt.

Ew. I don't like him. He's a drunk driver. I can't believe she is friends with him.

Post by babyfacedassassin24 on Jul 8, 2021 11:27:04 GMT -8
Wow...that's kind of a left field choice. When I think of FDR, I definitely don't think of Kiefer Sutherland. But then again, I feel like Eleanor was miscast so whatever lol

On imdb this has gone from being in pre-production status to being done it seems. That seem right to y'all?? Didn't Sutherland JUST get cast, or maybe he had been working on it for a while prior to the announcement maybe? Who knows lol

No they are only just starting Eleanor's block. Gillian just did a Instagram Q&A a few days ago and advised had only just arrived in Atlanta ahead of filming. This won't be finished until early September probably.

Weird. Whoever has been in charge of updating statuses on imdb has been dropping the ball...

Post by dasadbd28 on Jul 14, 2021 9:58:36 GMT -8
March-May, Betty Ford's story May- July, Michelle Obama's story July-September, Eleanor Roosevelt's story
I think they actually started in February with the actors playing the young Betty and Gerald so a 7 month shoot for this.

That makes sense as a timeline. I hope the status update isn't indicative of how the industry will treat this. I'd like for this to get proper attention...provided it's good, of course ha ha. I dunno, Bier didn't exactly wow me with The Undoing lol
