LOS ANGELES, Nov. 5 (UPI) -- John Cusack's publicist says the Hollywood actor-writer-producer is developing a bio-picture about conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh.

Cusack's film include "The Raven," "Grace is Gone," "America's Sweethearts," "Being John Malkovich," "Con Air," "Grosse Pointe Blank" and "Say Anything."

"New Crime Productions and John Cusack are currently considering a project about the larger-than-life radio personality, Rush Limbaugh," a representative for Cusack's New Crime production company told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement. "Betty Thomas, who covered similar terrain in ['Private Parts,'] her portrait of Howard Stern, is interested in directing. The script would explore the rise and reinvention of American Talk Radio, and Limbaugh's continued influence and impact over the last three decades in that world."

Topics: John Cusack, Rush Limbaugh, John Malkovich, Betty Thomas, Howard Stern
