Danny Strong has written two successful movies about contemporary American politics, but the “Rebel in the Rye” director said he’d need a beat before tackling the presidency of Donald Trump.
“I’m waiting to see what happens,” Strong said in an interview with TheWrap’s Sharon Waxman. “Every day is so chaotic and so many things happen. Every single day, literally there’s three different things.”
Strong first broke out as a writer in 2008 with HBO’s “Recount,” the Jay Roach-directed film dramatizing the recount of votes cast during the 2000 presidential election. Four years later, Strong and Roach re-teamed for “Game Change,” which tackled the 2008 presidential election and earned Strong two Emmys.
