Viggo Mortensen, Shia LaBeouf, Courtney Love Join David Mamet's JFK Thriller ASSASSINATION

Previously titled "2 Days/1963", the upcoming thriller "Assassination" is assembling quite an impressive cast which now includes Courtney Love, Viggo Mortensen, Shia LaBeouf, Al Pacino and John Travolta.

Here is the film's official synopsis: "1963. During a crucial justice hearing against organized crime, the head of the Chicago mob orders the assassination of President John F. Kennedy Jr., creating a deadly conspiracy while altering the fate of a nation.". The film is said to take place 48 hours before the assassination, telling the mob's version of the story.

Directed by Pulitzer Prize winner and Oscar nominee David Mamet ("Wag the Dog"), the film is written by Mamet and Nicholas Celozzi, who based the script on his great uncle, the Chicago mob boss Sam Giancana, who may have played a significant role in orchestrating Kennedy’s assassination. According to details shared by Celozzi's late uncle Pepe (Giancana’s brother), the mob's hand in the assassination was payback for the president's alleged snubbing of Giancana and his campaign against organized crime, despite his reliance on the mob during elections.

Oscar-winning director of photography Robert Elswitt ("There Will Be Blood"), is the film's cinematographer. Production is scheduled to start in September in Vancouver.

DVD & Blu-ray: JFK REVISITED - The Complete Collection

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass: An official selection of the Cannes Film Festival, this feature-length film presents a fresh look at the vast archive of material that has recently been placed into public record. Thirty years after acclaimed director Oliver Stone's first examination of JFK's assassination, Stone reassesses the horrific event that shaped a generation. Using newly declassified and reexamined documents, Stone presents a compelling, thought-provoking documentary narrated by Whoopi Goldberg and Donald Sutherland.

JFK: Destiny Betrayed: Subjects covered in this mini-series include the early formation of President Kennedy's foreign policy worldview, his travels to Vietnam as a senator, his support of fledgling democracies in Africa, and his anti-colonial convictions which put him in opposition to the Eisenhower administration, the CIA, and the Pentagon. Viewers are also given a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the post-assassination actions and initial suspicions of Kennedy's brother, Robert, as well as his views on the official Warren Commission investigation. The assassination, forensic, and ballistic evidence not covered in JFK Revisited are explored here in greater detail.
