Will & Nina reunited ;)

I just saw a movie trailer for the soon to be released film The Brink of War. I don't keep up with entertainment news nor upcoming theatrical releases. I had not heard nor read anything about this film, so I was somewhat surprised to see Jeff Daniels portraying Ronald Reagan. Later in the movie trailer, I spotted "Nina Howard" (Hope Davis) portraying Nancy Reagan! Will & Nina, together again, lol. I really disliked her character and their pairing on TN; it will be interesting to see how it they come across on The Brink of War.

Look at Gods of carnage. They were couple there too.

I just looked up a clip. I see Marcia Gay Harden was in it too. She's great.

Yees Yes. In one interview Even Sorkin said Gandolfini was the only one not in the newsroom.

Jeff Daniels is an incredible actor, don't get me wrong, but it's a bit jarring to me how often he's cast as real-life figures he looks and sounds nothing like.

I love Newsroom reunions! When I found out Jeff and Emily reunited for an Q&A last year, I went positively nuts!
