The drama has Al Pacino, Shia LaBeouf, Courtney Love, and John Travolta attached
Back in May, we heard about the interesting cast of Assassination, a David Mamet-penned drama about mobster Sam Giancana’s supposed involvement in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy—with Giancana’s nephew, Nicholas Celozzi, involved behind the scenes. Mamet was supposed to direct the movie himself, a rare move for him that afforded us the opportunity to point out some of his Trumpy political opinions.
Deadline doesn’t say what prompted the shift, but Levinson will apparently be “putting his own stamp” on Assassination. Maybe that means he has some kind of specific take that varies from what Mamet had planned, The aforementioned cast is also apparently unchanged, though Deadline only specifically mentions Shia LaBeouf and Al Pacino . Last we heard, the cast also included John Travolta, Viggo Mortensen, Rebecca Pidgeon, and Courtney Love, which runs the gamut from “huh” to “huh” pretty nicely.
