Kevin Spacey in RECOUNT

HBO's retelling of the 2000 presidential campaign has landed an impressive cast.

Variety gives us more:

Spacey stars as Ron Klain, former chief of staff to vice president Al Gore and one of the lead attorneys who challenged the voting results in Florida. Dern plays Katherine Harris, the secretary of state of Florida who became the center of controversy when she certified that George W. Bush had won the state. Begley plays David Boies, the lawyer who appealed the results and argued for the Democrats in court. Leary plays Michael Whouley, a pollster on the Democrat side, and Hurt plays Warren Christopher, a key player in the Gore camp. Wilkinson plays James Baker, brought in by the Republicans to see that the disputed results held up. Balaban plays Ben Ginsberg, the lead attorney for Bush and Dick Cheney.
Awesome cast and it's a clever idea to play it on the T.V. so everyone will get to see it. I would expect huge numbers for this with the cast they have put together right here. Here's hoping it makes the journey abroad too.
