Susan Sarandon To Portray 'Peace Mom' Cindy Sheehan In Biopic

In a move that shouldn't be a shock to anyone, Susan Sarandon has signed on to portray anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan.

Won't Susan have to move to the right to play Cindy?

But the all new Cindy-revue doesn't stop there. A crew will reportedly film Sheehan for a weekly reality series on the Sundance Channel.

Somehow the word "reality" and "Cindy Sheehan" just don't seem to go together

Her letters to President Bush inspired "Peace Mom," a one-woman monologue show in London. A memoir is due to her publisher April 1.

Has "60 Minutes" booked her yet to pimp her book?

And according to the San Francisco Chronicle, "she hopes to reschedule a trip to address the European Union, postponed, she says, because of injuries when she was arrested yet again and jailed earlier this month on charges of blocking entrance to the U.S. Mission to the United Nations."

#1 So who will play Casey Sheehan? Tim Robbins?

Of course, there is no reason to have Casey in the biography of Mother Sheehan. He is not important to her. /sarcasm

#3 Wow, a weekly reality TeeWee series! Right up there with Paris Hilton living the "real life".

Excellent. Kiss of death for Sheehan "credibility" - going Hollywood. Appropriate - creation returns to her roots of fiction and drama and fame. her very own TeeWee show! Wow!

Mind you, isn't Susan a tad old...

#4 I was wondering what the whore would do for her next trick! I bet your wondering if I am talking about Susan or Cindy and my answer is: "yes." On another note the Anti-America War protest were not well attended this weekend. This makes me wonder about those polls that the MSM media is waiving around. If support for Bush and his handling of the War are at a "all-time low" wouldn't the street still be clogged with protestors?

#5 So, is Susan Sarandon going to gain 50 pounds in order to be "authentic?"

#6 I think Cindy is the perfect icon for the Peace Movement. Aging, unattractive, looney, no ideas other than I'll be outrageous if you'll look-at-me.

She's how we all see the Peace Movement. A sad and fading effort to recapture their youth.

#9 Maybe Bruce Willis can time his Michael Yon movie for about the same time for release. Any bets on which movie has the biggest box office?
