Trio Tapped for 'Frost/Nixon'
I am only interested in this because of Sam Rockwell
I am happy to announce that Sam Rockwell has been cast in yet another film. Oh, and Toby Jones and Matthew Macfayden are in the movie as well and it is called Frost/Nixon with Ron Howard directing for Universal Pictures.
The film is an adaptation of the hit Peter Morgan play based on a series of televised interviews that President Nixon granted David Frost in 1977 and that ended with a tacit admission of guilt regarding his role in the Watergate scandal. Frank Langella and Michael Sheen are reprising their Broadway roles as Nixon and Frost, respectively.
Rockwell is playing award-winning journalist James Reston Jr., the head researcher who helps Frost prep for the interviews.
Jones will portray legendary Hollywood dealmaker Swifty Lazar, who negotiates the deal with Frost on behalf of Nixon.
Macfadyen plays John Burt, a journalist for a weekly British television show.
Shooting will begin in late summer.
