David Mamet and the death of JFK
Assassination will chronicle the fateful assassination of John F. Kennedy from the point of view of the mob, reinventing his death as a hit ordered by Chicago mob boss Sam Giancana as revenge for JFK’s attempt to undermine the crime syndicate after he the latter had favored his election (a topic previously addressed by JFK – a case still open by Oliver Stone).
Script co-writer Nicholas Celozzi is Sam Giancana’s nephew and is also a co-producer on the film with Corey Large. Principal photography will begin in September in Vancouver.
