Jared Leto To Join JFK Tale "Assassination"
12/12/2024 04:26 PM
Jared Leto is close to joining Jessica Chastain, Al Pacino, Brendan Fraser and Bryan Cranston in the Barry Levinson-directed murder mystery noir feature “Assassination”.
Levinson, David Mamet and Sam Bromell co-wrote the script which offers a new spin on the JFK conspiracy.
Chastain plays famed journalist Dorothy Kilgallen, dubbed the first female crime reporter in America. Kilgallen was the only woman to ever cover the JFK case and the only reporter to speak with Jack Ruby.
She suspects that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone and uses her influence in an effort to find President John F. Kennedy's real killer, including back-channel sources to the Warren Commission.
This puts her up against the CIA, mafia bosses and the FBI, all who would love nothing more than to make her and the story disappear.
Corey Large and Jason Sosnoff will produce the film which will shoot in Boston early next year. Leto’s deal isn’t closed as yet, and the actor will be seen next year in Disney’s sci-fi sequel “TRON: Ares”.
