NEW YORK — An announcement from Vanessa Castagna on her future role at J.C. Penney Co. is imminent, possibly today, according to two sources.
One source said Castagna, chairman and chief executive of Penney's stores, catalogue and Internet, and considered the retailer's second-in-command and chief merchant, will announce she plans to leave the company, though Penney's has reportedly been trying to convince her to stay. Castagna could not be reached for comment Thursday.
It's no secret she was very disappointed about not being selected to succeed Allen Questrom, Penney's chairman and ceo, who is retiring. Castagna was a leading contender, but Myron E. Ullman 3rd, a former top executive at Macy's, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton and the DFS Group, was chosen by the board. After the announcement on Ullman last month, Castagna reportedly took some time off to decide what she wanted to do next.
Castagna has an escape clause in her contract, permitting her to leave without the usual non-compete restrictions that most retailers impose. The clause expires Sunday.
Castagna's departure would put Penney's in a hole, considering she's been effective at executing strategies and changes dictated by Questrom, including centralizing the buying, new store layouts and merchandise presentations and more aggressive advertising and price promotions. Her leaving could trigger other executive departures.
However, Ullman could very well decide to bring in his own team, with or without Castagna. There's been some speculation that Ullman might try to recruit Edward J. Brennan, chairman and ceo of DFS Group Ltd. Ullman, who used to run DFS, recruited Brennan to the company in May 1997 and earlier, they worked together at Macy's, where Brennan was a top men's merchant and Ullman rose to ceo.

Country Thunder 2013 sells out six months early
Hopefully any Wisconsin country music fans who were eager to party with the biggest stars this summer at Country Thunder were thinking way ahead and already purchased their tickets. The annual four-day country music festival in Twin Lakes is already sold out six months in advance of its July 18-21 run, event organizers announced Tuesday. In addition to all multi-day passes already being gobbled up, no single day tickets will be available either.
One of a large number of country festivals across Wisconsin each summer, Country Thunder has grown in recent years to draw fans from across the nation to camp out in Southeastern Wisconsin and see a lineup of some of the genre's biggest stars. Last year's festival attendance topped 33,000. That was also a sell out, but one that only came days before the festival began. »Read Full Blog Post(2)
Radio vet hosted 'It's a Draw,' once subbed for Dick Clark on 'Bandstand'
He was a disc jockey for almost two decades at WISN radio, master of ceremonies on the old "It's a Draw" TV show with Sid Stone and the cheerful voice of afternoon drive time. But it was Chuck Arnold's one-time stint filling in for Dick Clark on "American Bandstand" in 1959 that captured Milwaukee's teenage heart.
It was a big deal, and when his Bandstand day came, he was flustered by the studio crowd. He flubbed his opening line, announcing the first record as "Lorraine," when it was really Bobby Rydell's "Kissin' Time." »Read Full Article
'A Raisin in the Sun' remains powerful, relevant today
"A Raisin in the Sun" may be an acknowledged classic now, but director Ron OJ Parson understands how daring and radical Lorraine Hansberry's drama was in its own time.
Her play about an African-American family's plan to buy a home in an all-white Chicago neighborhood reflects the early 1950s, before Rosa Parks and the Fair Housing Act, Parson said in an interview. The civil rights movement was still embryonic, and assimilation was seen as the path to success for African-Americans. »Read Full Article
Leonard Cohen brings meticulous approach to Milwaukee Theatre
Leonard Cohen graced the Chicago Theatre stage sharply dressed in a suit and fedora hat. As his gruff, commanding voice quietly filled the room, the audience fell to a hush. It was as though they were bearing witness to a life-altering sermon, enraptured by profound songs like "Suzanne" and "Hallelujah," backed by a nine-piece band.
Four years after that concert, Cohen continues to surprise. He's older of course, at 78, but these days his performances often are, incredibly enough, even longer, between 3 1/2 and four hours. And he's taken his tour to so many places, he's starting to hit some unexpected markets, such as Milwaukee. On Friday, Cohen will perform at the Milwaukee Theatre, his first concert here since he played at what's now the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts on Feb. 25, 1975. Mayor Tom Barrett has designated Friday as "Leonard Cohen Day." »Read Full Article(5)

Providence wins the Bloomberg Mayors Challenge
Though one of 20 finalists from a field of more than 300 cities, Milwaukee did not win Mayor Michael Bloomberg's Mayors Challenge, a national competition to address the problems facing cities today. But Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett says he will still advance his project, designed to transform foreclosed properties into a food chain for locally grown foods.
The top honor and the $5 million prize went to Providence, Rhode Island, for its high-tech proposal to boost language skills among low-income children. The Providence Talks proposal will put recording devices -- like a pedometer for words -- in the hands of children to count the number of words they are exposed to. This, combined with education for parents, is designed to boost vocabulary, an indicator of success in the classroom. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Fandango hit the streets of San Diego's hard-partying Gaslamp Quarter – in a Supergirl-driven pedicab, of course – to hit all of the biggest bashes at Comic-Con International. Use our X-ray vision to take a peek inside the parties.
DC Entertainment and Warner Bros.' Superman 75th Anniversary Party
THE LAIR: Float rooftop bar at the Hard Rock Hotel
THE HOOK: Float was transformed in a shrine to the greatest superhero of them all for DC Comics' massive blowout celebrating the debut of the Man of Steel in Action Comics back in 1938 as songs like R.E.M.'s "Superman" and Donovan's "Sunshine Superman" provided a musical backdrop for synchronized swimmers dancing in the mammoth pool wearing tiny bikinis almost more revealing than X-ray vision.
AMONG THE HEROES: Henry Cavill was on hand along with Man of Steel director Zack Snyder when a valuable original issue of Action Comics #1 was brought out of its display case by Brinks guards. The star-studded crowd contained everyone from the comic book elite – DC's top stars Geoff Johns and Jim Lee among them – a bevy of bewitching beauties giving Lois Lane a run for her money – Eva Green (300: Rise of an Empire), Antje Traue (Man of Steel), Alyssa Milano (Mistresses), Yvonne Strahovski (I, Frankenstein) and a blast from Superman's past: Valerie Perrine, who played good bad girl Miss Teschmacher opposite Christopher Reeve and Gene Hackman in the 1978 blockbuster.
Playboy and Universal Studios' Kick-Ass 2 Party
THE LAIR: An empty Gaslamp Quarter lot transformed into a sexy carnival midway.
THE HOOK: The block-sized bash served as backdrop for both Playboy's centerfold-worthy excitement – buxom bartenders and curvy carnies serving up cocktails, pretzels and ice cream – and Kick-Ass' amateur supeheroics. A bungee bounce provided a flying experience, while a metal tower served as the launchpad for a literal human torch in a stunt staged, appropriately by AXE Black Chill antiperspirant.
AMONG THE HEROES: Donald Faison soared over the crowd on the bungee cord along with his Kick-Ass 2 costar Christopher MIntz-Plasse; even the drop-dead gorgeous Playboy gals couldn't compete when Olivia Munn showed up in Wonder Woman-ish form, and Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost continued their pub crawl across Comic-Con.
IGN and Focus Features The World's End party
THE LAIR: Float rooftop bar at the Hard Rock Hotel
THE HOOK: The initial must-go on Thursday, which as promised by the film host's pub-crawling apocalypse, promised drinking, drinking and more drinking until the End of Days.
AMONG THE HEROES: The film's stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and director Edgar Wright were constantly surrounded by well-wishers at their curtained-off bungalows, and like their film characters had no shortage of drink on hand; Castle's Molly Quinn was so keen to skip the long line outside with her pals she was able to politely sweet-talk her way past security to another entrance without once dropping her celeb status; Bill Paxton (pictured above, with Pegg and Wright) soaked up nerd love from fans gushing over his early career genre greats like Aliens; and Dr. Who star Matt Smith politely entertained starry-eyed Tardis-tee wearing admirers, even going so far as to make an offer: "Would you like to get a picture with me?"
Summit Entertainment and Fandango party
[c. Bryan Beasley]
THE LAIR: Bar 207 at the Hard Rock Hotel
THE HOOK: The studio presenting the youth-oriented sci-fi epics Ender's Game and Divergent at the Con threw a bash to celebrate the pretty young things at the hotel's street-side bar was another mandatory stop on the San Diego Goes Hollywood circuit.
AMONG THE HEROES: Ender's Game stars Asa Butterfield and Hailee Steinfeld looking all grown up as they congregated around their youthful costars (their more mature colleague Harrison Ford opted to party in another cantina); and Divergent's Shailene Woodley (pictured above with costar Theo James) and Miles Teller turning heads wherever they went, but also holding their own in the glam department were a leggy Maggie Q and Divergent book author Vernonica Roth, who surprised everyone by looking as hot as her best sellers.
Kings of Con party
THE LAIR: The sexy Pussycat Dolls Dollhouse (that's the semiburlesque-y, mostly pole-dance-y nightspot) at the Keating Hotel
THE HOOK: A slightly more clandestine but definitely bangin' late-night ballers paradise where drinks were served up fast and furiously by boy-short and fishnet-clad bartenders in torn-up superhero tees, while scantily clad go-go gals gyrated to Justin Timberlake for a packed crowd of industry insiders lured by webmasters at LatinoReview.com.
AMONG THE HEROES: Dexter's good cop David Zayas had a sweet seat near a swing frequently sampled by sexy partygoers; iconic comic book artist Rob Leifeld was giving the kingly treatment, but nobody enjoyed his regal perch more than Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin, who was the center of attention for many of the comely young party girls in attendance.
HitFix Comic-Con Kickoff party
THE LAIR: Hotel Solamar's rooftop bar
THE HOOK: The first major gathering of the Con, thrown by the popular entertainment site, is a busy, freewheeling affair attended primarily by the mainstream journalists, online bloggers, studio publicity teams and celebrities' personal handlers, blowing off a little steam before they need their superpowers to make it through the four-day gauntlet.
AMONG THE HEROES: CBS Films' cohosted the event, bringing the cast of its upcoming film The To Do List, including Aubrey Plaza and Rachel Bilson, holding court in a poolside cabana – at least, when Plaza wasn't getting down to "Blurred Lines" on the dance floor and throwing gang signs in fan photos; The Conjuring's Lil Taylor, explaining how everyone on her film had a hunch they were making something unforgettably super scary; and The Sidekick costar Lizzy Caplan, admitting that the only thing she'd be geeking out over at the Con after her presentation was room service.

The Iowa Hawkeyes are members of the Legends Division.
This was designated by the newly aligned Big Ten Conference.
If the Hawks end up with a better record than their divisional rivals, they will get an opportunity to play in the first Big Ten Championship Game at the end of the season.
Luckily, the Hawkeyes benefit from a very favorable schedule in 2011.
Their toughest tests may be the first conference game of the season on the road at Leader's Division rival Penn State and the last game of the season, a road game against Legends Division rival Nebraska.
Overall in 2011 the Hawkeyes play three of their intra-divisional rivals—Northwestern, Michigan and Michigan State at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City.
Iowa must face Legend rivals Minnesota and Nebraska on the road.
The Hawkeye's cross-over contests in the Big Ten have Iowa challenging Leaders Penn State in Happy Valley, Purdue in West Lafayette and Indiana at home in Iowa City.
The Hawkeyes, however, do not have to face Ohio State or Wisconsin in 2011 unless Iowa meets the Buckeyes or the Badgers in the Big Ten Championship game.
Co-Legend Nebraska was dealt a very stiff schedule to start out their campaign in the Big Ten.
Michigan and Michigan State also received few scheduling breaks.
Both must face Ohio State, Nebraska and each other. Additionally, Michigan State must face Wisconsin.
While no game will be easy, Iowa has an increased chance for doing very well because of their favorable schedule in the upcoming football season.
Working through the 2011 schedule, here is how Iowa wins the Legend's Division:

SFDS-058-13/S/MV$1,424.50 - $1,754.50Stanley Louis Philippe Orleans Sleigh Bed$1,424.50 - $1,754.50Description
The gentle slope and curve of the Sleigh Bed's headboard invites you to lay back and relax in its serenity. Counterbalancing the ease of the Bed's headboard is the low profile panel footboard that grounds the design, but sports its own gradually-curled top molding. Together they produce a design that is equal parts commanding and relaxing. The broad expanse of the headboard showcases the visual dimension of the two finish options, both of which are highlighted by a build-up of rubbed English paste wax to add shine and smoothness.

Crafted to meet your every bedside need, the Night Stand is spacious without being oversized. A hidden drawer under the top molding offers a place for reading glasses or other small necessities, while two cedar drawers provide additional storage for larger items, such as reading materials. Elevating the Night Stand from the ordinary are the gently-rounded bun feet and antiqued bronze finish bail pulls.

Dan Turco & Sons - Rutland, VT - Phone: (802) 773-8650
A Snowmobile, in Rutland, is a vehicle used for travelling on snow and is also known as a snow-machine. As they are specifically designed to be operated on snow, they do not require any road. The snow mobile can, at best, accommodate one person who rides it and one adult passenger, and is more like a motor-cycle. A snowmobile was created with the intention of it being a winter utility vehicle only; however, lately they have been used for recreational purposes as well.
Snowmobiles mostly find takers in the arctic territories and are also sold for recreational purposes in some parts of North America. Relatively low number of snowmobiles is found in Europe and other parts of the world, though they are growing rapidly in popularity. Due to the high speed and acceleration involved, it requires a skilled and physically strong individual to operate a snowmobile. The rate of injuries and fatalities caused by snowmobiles are much higher than those of normal road vehicles. Losing control of a snowmobile can easily cause extensive damage, injury, and even death. Each year many riders are also killed as they collide with other snowmobilers, trees or by falling on ice. However, the risks can be reduced through education, proper training, and usage of appropriate gear while riding a snowmobile.

Seal of the President of Ukraine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The official seal of the President of Ukraine is ring-shaped. There is an image of the lesser Coat of Arms of Ukraine in the center of the stamp hemmed with the "The President of Ukraine" inscription. Below the National Emblem one can see an image of the Order of Prince Yaroslav the Wise. The handle of the new seal is garnished with a lapis lazuli ball. The neck or central part of the seal is gilded; its color spectrum goes in line with the national Flag of Ukraine – blue above and yellow below. The seal is made of silver and weighs next to half a kilo. It is known that Kyiv jeweler Mykhailo Cheburakhin made it using sketches by Oleksiy Rudenko just for a week.

A perimeter was established and a GCPD canine followed a short track. No suspects were located, according to GCPD.
The suspects were initially described as two black males wearing black hooded shirts and ski masks – one carrying a hatchet and the other an axe. The identities of the suspects are unknown. The resident was not injured in the incident.

German Cabinet approves national minimum wage
German Chancellor Angela Merkel works on her documents after arriving for the weekly cabinet meeting at the chancellery in Berlin, Germany, Wednesday, April 2, 2014. (AP / Markus Schreiber)
The Associated Press
Published Wednesday, April 2, 2014 7:10AM EDT
BERLIN -- Chancellor Angela Merkel's Cabinet has approved a national minimum wage for Germany, guaranteeing workers at least 8.50 euros per hour ($11.75) starting next year.
Merkel's conservative bloc had been against setting a minimum wage, arguing instead in favour of regional pay deals by employment sector. But it agreed to establish one as part of the deal to form a government with the left-leaning Social Democrats.
Federal Labor Minister Andrea Nahles said Wednesday that a minimum wage "will provide greater fairness" in Germany and result in better earnings for some four million people.
The proposal, which is expected to get Parliamentary approval, would go into effect Jan. 1, 2015 and employers would have two years to phase it in.

EXCLUSIVE: No Pathfinder replacement for Nissan Barcelona plant
By Glenn Brooks | 13 August 2012
Nissan Europe's Pathfinder
Nissan Europe has told just-auto that despite the launch of a new Pathfinder in North America, there are no plans to replace the model that has been built in Barcelona since 2005.
"The European Pathfinder (produced in Barcelona) is going to continue its European career. The new Pathfinder presented in the US is not going to be introduced in Europe. We will keep current Pathfinder for a couple of years still", a spokesperson for Nissan Europe stated to just-auto via email.
The current model had its global debut at the Detroit motor show in January 2004, with European build commencing exactly one year later. Unlike the model that has just gone out of production at Nissan North America's Smyrna plant in Tennessee, the Spanish-made Pathfinder has always been available with a diesel engine. The 4.0-litre V6 that was standard in North America was offered for a time in Europe but NNA's optional 5.6-litre V8 never made it to Europe.
The new Pathfinder SUV recently went into production at Smyrna alongside the closely related Infiniti JX. Both come with a standard 3.5-litre V6 and there is no V8 option. Unlike the body-on-frame chassis of the rear- and all-wheel drive Barcelona-built model, the new front- and all-wheel drive Pathfinder uses a monocoque construction. Its platform is the Nissan D architecture.

What is the tone of Langston Hughes' "I, Too, Sing America"?
Please give the words that help set the tone.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody will dare
Say to me,
"Eat in the kitchen,"
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed--
I, too, am America.

The tone in this poem is one of self-pride. He is treated as if he is an embarrassment to the white people, and made to feel inferior to them. But he is also made to feel inferior within his race as well due to the darker hue of his skin. The poet is trying to show how America "covers up" her racial discrimination "problems." The tone changes throughout the poem. In the first line, the tone is patriotic. The line, "I, too, sing America," indicates the national anthem, and symbolizes unity throughout the nation. In the next stanza, the tone is of anger and strength. The man is enraged at how he is treated, but he knows he is strong enough to fight back. This is shown in the line, "But I laugh,/ and eat well,/ And grow strong." In essence he lets the world know that no matter how you treat me I have self-pride and I will survive.

HitFix Interview: Writer Danny Strong discusses HBO's 'Game Change'
'Buffy' and 'Gilmore Girls' acting veteran talks Sarah Palin and more
When "Recount" premiered on HBO in 2008, a large subset of TV fans found themselves excited about Kevin Spacey and Denis Leary and the rest of the top-notch cast, but what was truly intriguing was that the acclaimed movie was written by Jonathan from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and Doyle from "Gilmore Girls."
A few years later, we may still think of Danny Strong from those roles and from an arc on "Mad Men," but that "Recount" Emmy nomination (and WGA Award win) has helped solidify his position as one of Hollywood's busiest screenwriters. He's writing "The Butler" for "Precious" director Lee Daniels and he just signed on to adapt Dan Brown's "The Lost Symbol" for the big screen.
At the moment, Strong is attracting attention for his script for "Game Change," an HBO adaptation of John Heilemann and Mark Halperin's bestseller that has prompted outrage from Team Sarah Palin weeks before anybody in the former Vice Presidential nominees camp even saw the movie.
For "Game Change," Strong took an already exhaustively researched book and went off on a research mission of his own, interviewing all of the people associated with the McCain/Palin 2008 campaign, or at least the people willing to accept his interview requests.
I spoke with Strong after interviewing "Game Change" director Jay Roach, so I think I was able to tailor them as complimentary, rather than overlapping, interviews. Yes, the controversy came up again, but Strong mostly talks about why the Palin story attracted him, how well he feels like he understands the former Alaska Governor and why he's excited about working on a Tom Hanks blockbuster.
Click through for the full interview...
HitFix: What was the state of this project, the focus of this project before you came onto it?
Danny Strong: Before I got there, HBO had spent about a year trying to develop a Hillary/Obama script from the book "Game Change." They, for whatever reason, decided not to move forward with it. Then Jay Roach came on board and said, "Why don't we take the Palin story and see if we can try and develop a script around that." And HBO said, "Try it." So Jay called me and asked me if I wanted to try it. I said, "Absolutely," because I'd read the book and I'd loved the book and I actually thought that was the best movie in the book. So I said "Yes" on the phone call and then got the job and wrote the script.
HitFix: Do you think that you could have written a Hillary/Obama version of the script?
Danny Strong: I don't know. I'd read it about four months earlier, before Jay had called me, and as I was reading it, I remember thinking that the Hillary/Obama story was really, really hard to adapt into a movie. There were so many primaries. The story turns on all of those primaries and it just is really repetitive. I remember thinking that I didn't know how I would do it. But then when I got to the Palin story, I was like, "Oh. That's the movie!" It's so clear to me that that was the way to do it. Not just because it was the best story in the book to make into a movie, but I thought it would be one of the great political stories of our times. I just thought it was extremely profound and unique and totally fascinating. So could I pull off the Hillary/Obama script? Maybe. I've never officially examined it, but I also felt strongly at the time, and I still feel that way now, that a movie where Barack Obama's the central character in it shouldn't come out until after he's out of office. It would just be really hard to get an audience lost in a story while he's still president.
HitFix: From the outside, how did you see, in broad strokes, what the arc was of the Palin story?
Danny Strong: Well, you need to see the movie. I kinda don't want to say it, because that's sorta giving away the character's journey in the film. But to not give too much away, it's "Pygmalion" story about a local politician who spent most of her career in local politics, who was the mayor of a small town and had been governor for 18 months of a fairly small populated state and then overnight is thrust onto the national scene and how that changes her and how it changes the people who put her in that position.
HitFix: I like that you're being cagey about it, but this really is a film in which everybody knows how the story turns out and nearly everybody knows all of the major beats in-between. So what was the challenge for you of crafting a story that would still surprise people, given that there are no surprises.
Danny Strong: That's why I thought there was a movie there, though. That's the primary difference between the Hillary/Obama story and the Palin story: The story in the Hillary/Obama story that we lived through is equally as interesting as what happened behind the scenes. They're both very interesting, right? But there's a huge portion of that that we lived through. But with the Palin story, what we lived through is interesting, but what happened behind the scenes is so unbelievably fascinating and completely profound that that's why I thought there's an amazing movie here. There's a huge part of this story that is fantastic as a film that we don't know.
HitFix: You begin with a book that was already very well researched. And you conducted dozens more interviews. Why did you feel it was necessary for you to redo the research process or to reexperience the research process?
Danny Strong: Well, for one, because I personally hadn't experienced that process. I needed to talk to these people, first off: Is the book accurate? The book is anonymously sourced, famously so, so I wanted to dig in to see if it stands up, even though I was pretty sure it would, because people didn't refute the book when it came out. It was so hot-button and I would assume they would have, if people had major problems with it. And then second off, to continue to explore these things to get as much nuance and depth about the subject matter as I possibly can. We just wanted to get the story right and I felt like in order to do that, I had to go talk to the people myself.
HitFix: When you talked to people, were there aspects or details or shadings from the people that people now wanted to refute?
Danny Strong: Nope. No. There were things that people wanted to elaborate on. Out of my 25 interviews, there was one who said that the book was all lies and just wanted to refute the entire thing. Now there were parts that people wanted to talk about. I went out of my way to speak to Palin aides who were extremely loyal to her and extremely fond of her. They would not refute the book, but they would say, "There's another story here that people don't talk about and there were all these great times" and I would say "Please, Please. Tell me about these great times." And I think a lot of the positive aspects of Palin in the movie are dramatized from those interviews.
HitFix: The one person who wasn't going to call it all lies, I assume you aren't going to tell me who that was?
Danny Strong: Oh, he's already publicly done it. It's Randy Scheunemann. How 'bout that? Yeah, he's already attacked the book as all lies and the film as all lies, etc.
HitFix: What is his truth?
Danny Strong: He doesn't refute the specifics. His truth, or what he says, is just that the entire narrative that Palin is quote "an ignoramus" is false, that she's as brilliant a woman as he's dealt with, or maybe not "as he's dealt with," but a very brilliant woman who's extremely knowledgeable of all of these issues that people accuse her of not being knowledgeable of.
HitFix: OK, so you've done all of this research. You've read the book, talked to the people, read Sarah Palin's books. How well do you feel like you "get" Sarah Palin at this point? And how much is an understanding of Sarah Palin essential to the goal of this movie?
Danny Strong: The movie's not a Sarah Palin biopic, right? It's the story of the 2008 election, specifically told through the pick of Sarah Palin as the VP and what happened in the campaign after she was picked. Obviously we tried -- and by "we," I mean me, Jay Roach, Julianne Moore -- to get to understand her with as much depth and complexity as we could. But could I write a psychological profile of her? Yeah, maybe. But I wouldn't stand behind it as, "Well this 1000 percent accurate." What I do understand, I think pretty in-depth, is what happened to her psychologically during the campaign and what the campaign did to her and not just to her, but to Steve Schmidt, to John McCain and to all of the other staffers that I interviewed. So I would certainly want to limit my expertise on the issue to the 2008 election.
HitFix: We also know what John McCain sounds like in interviews and in public. We know what Sarah Palin sounds like in interviews and in public. How did you go about deciding how they sound like in private?
Danny Strong: You just try and get their voice down the best that you can. You read as much about them and in both of their cases, they've both written books and have read those books on audio tapes. So you listen to their audio tapes and you just do the best you can?
HitFix: Is that more challenging or was that easier than on "Recount," when you were sort of putting words into the mouthes of people who, for most viewers, we only know them in passing?
Danny Strong: I don't know. I find that the character work is the same in fiction as it is in non-fiction. In fiction you're creating the characters, but you want to try to create as distinct and unique a voice as possible. In non-fiction, these people actually exist, so you're trying to create the voice as close to how they are in real life. All you can do is just kinda do as much research as you can and then go for it.
HitFix: Does that mean you're saying that "Recount" was, if not more fictional, more based on a fiction-type process?
Danny Strong: No, because I was able to do a tremendous amount of research on "Recount" and interview almost all of those characters on the screen. So "Recount" to me, is as accurate as I think "Game Change" is.
HitFix: How early into the process did you realize that you needed Steve Schmidt as the center or the fulcrum for the story?
Danny Strong: After I got that phone call from Jay Roach and he said, "Do you want to do the Palin story?" and I said, "Yeah, I do. Lemme re-read the book and lemme get back to you." I re-read the book and just on re-reading the McCain portion of the book, I just instantly knew that Steve Schmidt was going to be the lead, that the film was going to be through his eyes. I think a lot of that also had to do with the "60 Minutes" interview he did when the book came out. I remember watching that interview and just being blown away by how candid he was about Gov. Palin and how regretful he was and just how unusual that is. I don't think I'd ever seen someone in politics talk about someone else within their own party that they worked with so candidly and shown such regret. It just seemed like this was the stuff that movies are made of, a character like this.
HitFix: And how open was Steve Schmidt with you guys?
Danny Strong: He was one of 25 interviews.
HitFix: But not more than that?
Danny Strong: No. He was not a consultant and he didn't have any other kind of relationship other than that he was just one of our many interviews. There's been some discussion that the portrayal in the book and the portrayal in the movie is his side of the story and I disagree with that. The stuff he said in his interview was consistent with at least a dozen other people. It wasn't one side versus someone else's. It was what we perceived to be the truth from many different points of views.
HitFix: Obvious this movie is very political, insofar as it deals with the political process, but how did you want to approach the ideological side of things?
Danny Strong: Well, there really isn't any. It's not a partisan film. It's not an ideological film. You don't come out of this film talking about the abortion issue or stem cell research or anything. It's not what we explore whatsoever. It's about the process of how we elect our leaders.
HitFix: Sure. But that was obviously a choice you had to make in the process, since it's not like there wasn't an ideologically-driven side to the 2008 election.
Danny Strong: Yeah, but the film doesn't explore that. So yes, it was a definite choice. The same goes with "Recount," which was not about whether Bush should have won or whether Gore should have won. It was about the process of how we count our votes. And this film is about the process of how we elect our leaders and what qualities do we value in a leader and how our presidential elections have become more like reality shows than a substantive examination of the issues of our times.
HitFix: I talked to Jay Roach about the movie and he talked about how the script had a theatrical quality and could almost have worked as a play. Was that a part of your intent/approach?
Danny Strong: I think there's definitely some truth to that, yeah. It's funny, because we didn't even really talk about that, but it's really just a couple of characters, right? Three or four characters who are just in crisis and and trying to resolve this crisis.
HitFix: "Recount" premiered seven years after the events it depicted and this is premiering less than four years after. Do you think the reduced window makes a difference in terms of reflection and introspection?
Danny Strong: I don't think it makes a difference as far as how our approach was. It's a very contained event. It's an event that I feel like happened long enough ago and people I interviewed, there was enough time that had passed where I felt like people were comfortable candidly talking about it. I feel like we were able to tell the story. If we were to make this movie in four years or six years or ten years, I think that it would still be fundamentally the same film that we made today. Now as far as how people perceive the film, yes, it may be perceived different in a longer period of time. The events of the past two weeks, there was pretty hot and heavy political discussion over the politics of the movie, which I think may not be the case if this film was made in six or seven years. But in six or seven years, people may not really care about this movie.
HitFix: The controversies and push-backs of the past couple weeks, how have they compared to what you presumably expected?
Danny Strong: I don't think it's too far off from what I expected. It happened sooner than I expected, because it happened a couple weeks before we came out and I just thought it would happen closer to the actual airdate, because that seems like a better strategic maneuver. But hey, what can you do?
HitFix: When you see something like that trailer that Palin's people put out, claiming things that weren't in the movie, even though everything in her trailer was in the movie, what goes through your mind? Is it like, "Oooh, she fell into our trap"?
Danny Strong: It's funny you say that. I don't think she fell right into our trap. I just felt like these people obviously haven't seen the film, because everything they put in that trailer is exactly in our movie, almost beat-for-beat. I just was confused by the strategy and I was kinda confused by them holding a press conference and attacking the film so brutally when everyone in the press conference admitted they hadn't seen it. I don't know. I've just been a little bit confused at the response. It's a response based on having not seen the film, and it feels like it undermines their attack for after they see the film, because they've already been attacking it so hard already. I just felt like they would have had more credibility had they waited. They made their decisions and they certain got notice. I think it gave us a lot of attention, which maybe they wanted to. I can't completely read the situation, to be honest with you. I can only just respond to the things people point out about the film. They put this trailer out about the movie saying, "This is the true story..." and it was like, "Well, that's funny, because we think it's the true story, too. That's why we put it in our movie."
HitFix: You obviously have also had a long and successful career acting as well. How much did that set the foundation for your writing career? And when did you know that writing was a direction you wanted to go?
Danny Strong: You know, I always kinda had an inkling that I would be writing. When I was in college, I was a theater major. I was in the acting program, but I went out of my way to take a bunch of writing courses, too. I took screenwriting and fiction writing and theater writing. It wasn't until I was 25 or 26, about three years into my acting career being my full-time jobs, that I decided to start writing for various reasons. But I think it's been unbelievably helpful and I think my acting completely informs my writing. When "Recount" came out, one of the ways people were trying to discredit the film was, "You know, this movie was written by the guy from 'Buffy.'" And that was always so funny to me, because I was like, "My acting background is literally the biggest advantage I have as a writer." It informs it so significantly.
HitFix: And when you've worked with people like Joss Whedon and Amy Sherman-Palladino and Matthew Weiner, have you been hands-on in picking their brains?
Danny Strong: No, not really. I think their influence on me has been from just their talent and from just working on their amazing scripts, the same way that I was so greatly influenced by working on the plays of Arthur Miller and Edward Albee and Ibsen and Brecht. That's all I did for the first 10 years. I think that Joss and Amy and Matt Weiner's just a genius. I think actually all of them are geniuses. They're just such monster talents. I did "Buffy" from when I when I was 23 to 28 and that's a very influential period. That's right when I started writing, too. So I wouldn't be surprised if Joss very subconsciously had an effect. But I never had discussions with any of them about writing. Actually, Matt Weiner and I have. We met on an Emmy panel, because we both Emmy nominees for writing that year. But the point was that I was already an established writer by the time I started working with Matt. But I have to say that "Mad Men" is probably my favorite show of all time, so ever time I watch an episode, I feel like I'm in writing school.
HitFix: You mentioned your acting informing your writing, but do you think that your writing has helped your acting at all?
Danny Strong: Yeah, I think so. I think what has really helped the acting is just not having to act for my rent or to make my insurance. Now, I'm much more relaxed and I think it makes the work much better, because I've just taken a lot of pressure off of it. I'm also much more selective about what I'll actually act in now, because I don't need it to pay the bills now.
HitFix: You just signed on to adapt Dan Brown's "The Lost Symbol," which seems like a detour or a change-of-pace for you?
Danny Strong: Does it seem like that to me? I think I can easily see how someone would think that. I've been writing other things, they just haven't been made. I wrote a thriller for Warner Brothers last year and I wrote this big sci-fi movie for Warner Brothers. I've worked on a variety of things, so it doesn't feel that way to me, personally, but it makes perfect sense that it would be perceived that way.
HitFix: What excites you about that project?
Danny: I just think it's going to be totally awesome. I love being a part of this huge global franchise. I think the books are amazing. I think the movies are really cool. I've just always been a fan of the character of Robert Langdon. I love the concept of a hero at the center of a very dangerous thriller who does not have a gun and is not a tough guy and is the hero because of his genius and uses his brilliance to get him through the mystery. I like the fact that they take on or explore concepts that are pretty profound and pretty significant and that they deal with issues bigger than what your typical thriller takes on.
"Game Change" premieres tonight (March 10) at 9 p.m. on HBO.
