The director is award-winning American author David Mamet, who wrote the screenplays for such films as “Wag the Dog”, “When the Postman Rings Twice” and “Glengarry Glen Ross”.
He wrote the script “Assassination” together with Nicholas Celozzi, a second cousin of the notorious mafia boss Sam Giancana (1908-1975). The film looks at possible mafia involvement. Filming begins in September in Vancouver, Canada.
Kennedy was shot to death in an open car in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963. A commission of inquiry concluded that alleged hitman Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. To this day, the circumstances of Oswald’s assassination and assassination on live television cameras that followed soon after are the source of numerous conspiracy theories.
In 1991, director Oliver Stone’s film “JFK – Tatort Dallas” caused a stir. It was based on a book by former New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison, who tried to prove in court in the late 1960s that Oswald couldn’t be the only shooter. (sda/dpa)
