Two decades after it hit theaters, Wag the Dog feels more relevant than ever — which might explain why HBO is rebooting it.
The pay-cable network is turning the 1997 big-screen political satire starring Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman into a half-hour scripted comedy, according to The Hollywood Reporter. And it has the blessing of the original team: The film’s director, Oscar winner Barry Levinson, is on board to executive produce the series and direct the pilot, and De Niro will serve as an Ep as well. Rajiv Joseph (Nurse Jackie) will write the pilot.
