The largely autobiographical film "Armageddon Time" (read our review here) from director James Gray starring Jeremy Strong, Anne Hathaway, and Anthony Hopkins arrives in theaters this weekend. Gray isn't wasting any time getting his next project off the ground, with Deadline reporting that MadRiver Pictures has hired Gray to direct a biopic about John F. Kennedy that will focus on the former president's military career. The as-yet-untitled project plans to follow a young JFK who longs to distinguish himself and prove his worth to his powerful father. The story will chronicle JFK's harrowing true adventures in WWII when a Japanese destroyer sank his patrol boat and left Kennedy and his men shipwrecked.
Gray, who just received a Gotham Awards nomination for Best Screenplay, will rewrite a script from Samuel Franco and Evan Kilgore. Pre-production on Gray's next film, "I Am Pilgrim," is currently underway, so production on the biopic will begin sometime next year.

Steven Weber, “The Kennedys of Massachusetts” (1990)

As the country takes a moment to remember John F. Kennedy on the 50th anniversary of his assassination, we decided to look back on his last impacting in pop culture. In the five decades since his death, JFK’s story has been told countless times both on the big screen and the small one. Whether it’s a look at the younger years, like Patrick Dempsey in the TV movie, JFK: Restless Youth, or a controversial portrayal of his presidency, such as The Kennedys starring Greg Kinnear, actors have not shied away from taking JFK’s iconic look and thick Massachusetts accent.
While there have been a number of portrayals, no one has played JFK more than Brett Stimely, who has taken on the man four different times. His roles, while small, tend to capture the most familiar elements of the president. Compare that Rob Lowe, who...

First-time writer-director Peter Landesman hopes to showcase the emotional and physical struggles that American citizens and officials struggled to deal with in his new drama, Parkland.
Parkland recounts the chaotic events that occurred in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963, as it follows the assassination of JFK (Brett Stimely), as he was riding in a parade with his wife, Jacqueline Kennedy (Kat Steffens). The story weaves together the perspectives of a handful of ordinary individuals suddenly thrust into extraordinary circumstances immediately following the president’s death.
Among those who first-handily contended with the murder were such civilians as the young doctors and nurses at Parkland Hospital who tried to save Kennedy, including Dr. Malcom Perry (Colin Hanks) and Dr. Charles ‘Jim’ Carrico (Zac Efron); an unwitting cameraman, Abraham Zapruder (Paul Giamatti), who captured what became the most watched and examined film in history; and Robert Oswald (James Badge Dale), the brother of...

Over the weekend, Dave Shelton — an award winning writer, cartoonist, and voice actor, with a varied resume that includes Everybody Loves Raymond, National Lampoon, Tweety And Sylvester and Against Type — and Tami Zorge hosted the world premiere of his pilot Professor Creepy’S Scream Party at Raleigh Studios in Hollywood.
The “Garage TV” pilot, which was shot in only one day and edited in one more, is a live action variety show that is billed as a retro mash up of sixties kids shows, horror hosts, and dance shows. Picture the Hilarious House Of Frankenstein meets Vampira meets American Bandstand, with a Vincent Price-esque mad scientist as host. How does that not pique one’s interest?
The event is a testament to how hard work can pay off. The pilot process was described to me as a Living In Oblivion-esque experience, with financiers backing out, the lead actor...
