Rodham: Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Chastain among those tipped to portray Hillary Clinton in upcoming biopic

Scarlett Johansson is rumored to portray Hillary Clinton in the upcoming biopic, Rodham.

Scarlett Johansson, 28, has not secured the role just yet: she is apparently up against Jessica Chastain, Amanda Seyfried and Reese Witherspoon.

Rodham will focus on the early stages of Hilary Clinton’s career, when she was a lawyer in Washington.

The writer, Young il-Kim, was forced to deny reports earlier this year that the film was full of raunchy s** scenes when the script was leaked by The Daily Beast.

“<<Rodham>> is a journey of a woman who was torn between her personal desires and her professional ambition – both literally pulled her thousands of miles apart, because Bill did not want to leave Arkansas, and she did not want to leave Washington, D.C.,” Young il-Kim told Politico earlier this year.

Director James Ponstoldt, who was attached to the movie last month and casting for the prestigious role has only just begun.

James Ponstoldt describes Scarlett Johansson and the other candidates as “all wonderful actresses”, according to The Independent.

He adds that they are “very fortunate that a lot of really great actors are interested in playing these roles. We’re in an enviable position”.

Scarlett Johansson was most recently seen on the big screen portraying Janet Leigh in the biographical comedy-drama, Hitchcock.

She has previously taken on a wide variety of roles, from the provocative Nola in Match Point to the demure Meg Windermere in A Good Woman.

Her competition is fierce, however, with Jessica Chastain having just received rave reviews for her performance in Zero Dark Thirty.

Amanda Seyfried was also applauded for her performance alongside Hugh Jackman in Les Miserables.

Reese Witherspoon, who has also played a diverse range of strong female roles, has recently appeared in the critically acclaimed Mud.
