“Knife Fight,” the Rob Lowe film due for release around election time 2012 that’s based on the exploits of San Francisco-based former Clinton advisor and all-around Democratic political fixer Chris Lehane, aka “Master of Disaster,” has several journos playing themselves in cameo roles. Among them: the Chronicle’s Carla Marinucci, the Mercury News’ Dana Hull, the Sac Bee’s Dan Morain and CNN’s Howard Kurtz.
Add: Says Morain of a recent film session on Treasure Island:
“Knife Fight” is low-budget, maybe $5 million. But more than two dozen crew members were there to direct, film and tape the back of my head.”
