Rahm Emanuel's Hollywood
Ties Complicate Deal to Bring 'Chicagoland' to CNN

The new CNN
series Chicagoland follows Windy City Mayor Rahm Emanuel
as he tries to improve life for the city's residents in the wake of
an escalating murder rate and union squabbles.
The mayor's entertainment connection made
cementing the deal for the series harder than usual.
Emanuel's brother, The William Morris Endeavor co-CEO Ari Emanuel,
is a longtime Hollywood power player.
Chicagoland directors Marc Levin and Mark Benjamin are agency clients, and they
requested the group not represent them during negotiations for the series'
deal. They wanted to avoid a potential conflict of interest.
We didn't want to be questioned about
anything," says ['Chicagoland' co-director Marc] Levin,
who is in Park City for the Sundance
premiere of episode one of Chicagoland on Sunday.
The eight-part series, co-produced by
progressive actor Robert Redford,
begins airing March 6.
