"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."
