Director Peter Landesman’s adaptation of the book ‘Four Days In November‘ by renowned author and former prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi, recently premiered at the London Film Festival. PARKLAND side steps the familiar and controversial conspiracy theories of past television and film work for a look at the ordinary folk drawn in to the immediate events following the shocking assassination of US President John Fitzgerald Kennedy on the fateful day in Dallas, Texas 1963. The all-star biopic is also produced by Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman.
We’ve a brand new UK quad for the film set for UK cinemas from the 8th November.
November 22nd, 1963 was a day that changed the world forever – when young American President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. We follow in almost real time a handful of individuals forced to make split-second decisions after this incomprehensible event that would change their lives and forever alter our world’s landscape: the young doctors and nurses at Parkland Hospital, the chief of the Dallas Secret Service, the unwitting cameraman who captured what has become the most watched and examined film in history, the FBI Agents who had gunman Lee Harvey Oswald within their grasp and Vice President Lyndon Johnson who had to take control of a country in a moment’s notice. Thrust into a scenario of unprecedented drama with unimaginable consequences, these key characters respond with shock, outrage, determination and courage. Woven together, their seemingly disparate perspectives make one of the most thrilling and powerful stories never told.
The breathless cast includes Billy Bob Thornton, Paul Giamatti, Marcia Gay Harden, Zac Efron, James Badge Dale, Ron Livingston, Tom Welling, Mark Duplass, Colin Hanks, Jackie Earle Haley, Rory Cochrane and Jackie Weaver.
Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
