Who says nobody finds redemption in the slammer? Washington, D.C. über-sleazeball Jack Abramoff, presently spending some quality time as a guest of the federal penal system, is seeking redemption via a pair of Hollywood liberals. (Irony abounds.) Kevin Spacey and Factory Girl director George Hickenlooper are developing Casino Jack, a biopic that aims to present a kinder, gentler Abramoff.
Considering that Abramoff bilked and deceived Native American clients, fraudently gained control of the Sun Cruz casino line (part of a beyond-seamy saga that included eventual bloodshed) and was an out-and-out racist, Spacey and Hickenlooper are going to have employ a bathysphere to dredge up empathy for this sack of sludge and like-minded sidekick Michael Scanlon (to be played by Young Darth Vader himself, Hayden Christensen).
But, an Abramoff sympathizer insists, it was "Casino Jack" who was the victim and what he did "wasn't ... anything that wasn't happening on K-Street already." Even if you swallow that bullshit sandwich, the supposition that Abramoff's actions were just bidness as usual doesn't even begin to excuse them.
Let's hope this project gets put in perpetual turnaround. Besides, Abramoff doesn't deserve to be portrayed by an actor as good as Spacey. I'm thinking they should cast the part with Ted McGinley instead.
