A month after reports first surfaced that Bill Murray would play Franklin Delano Roosevelt in Hyde on Hudson, Focus Features has now confirmed the casting. The romantic drama -- from Notting Hill director Roger Michell -- will take place entirely in one weekend when King George VI and Queen Elizabeth visit the President's upstate home and F.D.R.'s intimate relationship with a distant cousin Daisy comes to light. Focus will present the project to buyers at Cannes next week. [Variety]
