  • The Special Relationship is an American political television movie directed by Richard Loncraine from a screenplay by Peter Morgan. It is the third film in Morgan's informal "Blair trilogy", which dramatizes the political career of Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Tony Blair (1997–2007), following The Deal (2003) and The Queen (2006), both directed by Stephen Frears. The first drafts of The Special Relationship dealt with Blair's working relationships with Presidents of the United States Bill Clinton (1993–2001) and George W. Bush (2001–2009). Morgan excised the Bush scenes from subsequent drafts because he believed the Blair/Clinton dynamic more interesting. He intended to make his directorial debut with the film but backed out a month before filming began and was replaced by Loncraine. The film is produced by HBO Films and Rainmark Films in association with BBC Films. The film also stars Dennis Quaid as Clinton, Hope Davis as Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Helen McCrory as Cherie Blair. Principal photography on locations in and around London, England ran from July 20 to September 4, 2009.
