Roland Joffe to Direct Mob-Centric JFK Assassination Film ‘November 1963: The Killing of a President’ (EXCLUSIVE)


Roland Joffe will direct the mob’s story about what happened leading up to JFK's assassination in "November 1963: The Killing of a President."

“The reason why there’s this fascination or anxiety is because people know that what they’ve heard so far doesn’t make sense,” Celozzi tells Variety of the ongoing interest in the circumstances surrounding JFK’s assassination, even 60 years later. The project, formerly known as “2 Days/1963” and “Assassination,” was previously set up to star Courtney Love, Viggo Mortensen, Shia LaBeouf, Al Pacino and John Travolta, with David Mamet to direct and co-write with Celozzi. Joffe recently completed directing the Civil War drama limited series “The Gray House” for Paramount, starring Daisy Head and Mary Louise Parker and executive produced by Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman, Leslie Grief and Lori McCreary.
