Nicholas Meyer to Write George Washington Biopic
Vulcan's Paul Allen said he wanted the film to offer an historically accuracte portrayal of America's beginnings and our first President.
"Washington was the indispensable man, the physical embodiment of America's revolutionary ideals and identity," Allen said. "As we consider America's role in today's ever-changing world, understanding the man who had a pivotal role during the birth of our nation is essential."
Meyer, who recently wrote Elegy, also has a wealth of knowledge on early American history and Washington's life as well. No production schedule has been announced for the film.

They should get David Morse to play Washington he played him in HBO's John Adams he was amazing and it was uncanny how much he looked like George Washington.
