The HBO film channel's new movie "Recount" revisits the tumultuous ballot counting controversy in Florida during the 2000 U.S. presidential election. The screenplay was written by Danny Strong, an actor known for his roles in "The Last Castle" and "Buffalo Girls". The story begins on Election Day and covers the events that led to a ruling by the Florida Supreme Court five weeks later, reflecting on the ballot counting chaos in Florida. According to HBO executives, the film will focus on the "humanity" intertwined with the news events. "Recount" is set to air on HBO during the peak of the 2008 U.S. presidential election. HBO film channel executive Colin Callender stated that the film will not only highlight politicians and voters but will also focus on many ordinary people involved in the events: "Men, women, husbands, wives... all those who were unwittingly caught up in it." The cast of the television film "Recount," which reflects on the inner workings of the 2000 U.S. election, has recently been announced. Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey will play Vice President Al Gore's chief of staff in the film, with the director of "Spy Game" taking over for Sidney Pollack. Kevin Spacey had once been troubled by the post-Oscar reaction; much like Halle Berry, this accomplished actor, known for his ability to navigate various character roles, had not received a worthy role since winning the award. "Recount" offers a chance for his comeback, as Spacey will portray Gore's Deputy Chief of Staff Ron Klain, who was also the legal advisor assisting Gore in challenging the Florida voting results. The 2000 election was one of the most controversial in American history. Although Democratic candidate Al Gore led in the popular vote, the counting results showed Republican George W. Bush winning the electoral vote by a narrow margin. The Democrats challenged the ballot counting in Florida, calling for a recount of the disputed votes. Ultimately, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Bush as the winner of the Florida election, thus also granting him the presidency. Shortly after the election, renowned director Sidney Pollack was invited by HBO to create a film about the election. However, the veteran director stepped down due to health issues and was replaced by Jay Roach, who directed "Meet the Parents." Joining the cast is Laura Dern, the favorite actress of director David Lynch, who will portray Katherine Harris, the Florida Secretary of State at the time, who used her power to secure victory for Bush amidst the controversy. Veteran actor John Hurt will portray former U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher. "What is a politician? A politician is someone who asks rich people for money and poor people for votes. They make both rich and poor believe they will look after their interests." — said a humorous master in America. "Recount, recount, recount......", "Too close to call, too close to call......" On the evening of December 13, 2000, at 8 PM, Democratic presidential candidate Gore gave a concession speech from the Vice President's residence in Washington. The U.S. presidential election, which lasted the longest in history, ended with a highly controversial difference of a few hundred votes amidst a series of recounts. Some political commentators believe that President Clinton's involvement in the case of a little Cuban boy cost Democrats the Hispanic votes in Miami, leading to a significant loss in the close election. The "critical minority" played a key role at a crucial moment.
