of Damian Lewis in prosthetics on the set of “Run This Town,” people instantly took notice and wondered about the casting of Lewis in the role. The face of Ford in this movie doesn’t really resemble the late mayor, and Lewis’ accent is a little less like a person from Etobicoke and a little more like Fat Bastard from the “Austin Powers” films. But Tollman is aware that the character isn’t an exact replica for the real man who ran Toronto.
That being said, Lewis’ depiction of the mannerism, the stance and the body language of Ford is pretty spot-on in this film.When Tollman began thinking about what he wanted to pursue for his first writing/directing project, he knew he wanted to create something that showcased the intersection of journalism and politics.
But Doug Ford is likely one of many who will take issue with the resurgence of the ex-mayor’s scandal almost four years after his death, following a battle with pleomorphic liposarcoma, a rare form of cancer.
Lol you know Conservative are getting desperate when they go Hollywood to di revisionist history on Toronto's worst mayor
And we need this movie why?
Sorry, I’m busy that night
Not wasting my time!
Please stop making movies about mediocre white men
