That title just seems bizarre enough on it’s own, Anthony Hopkins and Demi Moore together in a film about Robert Kennedy? Stranger things have happened. From Coming Soon:
Anthony Hopkins is set and Demi Moore is in final talks to star in Emilio Estevez’s ensemble political-cultural drama Bobby, reports Variety.
The film, written and to be directed by Estevez, revisits the night Robert F. Kennedy was gunned down at the Ambassador Hotel in 1968. The story is about how the lives of those at the hotel that evening intersected.
The trade adds that the movie will take place against the backdrop of the cultural issues gripping the country at the time, including racism, sexual inequality and class differences.
Actually it sounds like a really interesting premise, there’s not really been a movie covering Robert Kennedy, but the idea of intersecting stories makes me wonder if he’s going to be more of a MacGuffin, a plot device just there to pull the stories together. Sounds an interesting project though, does it interest you?
