Viggo Mortensen, Shia LaBeouf, Courtney Love Join David Mamet's JFK Thriller ASSASSINATION

Viggo Mortensen Shia Labeouf Courtney Love Jfk Assassination Thriller

Previously titled "2 Days/1963", the upcoming thriller "Assassination" is assembling quite an impressive cast which now includes Courtney Love, Viggo Mortensen, Shia LaBeouf, Al Pacino and John Travolta.

Here is the film's official synopsis: "1963. During a crucial justice hearing against organized crime, the head of the Chicago mob orders the assassination of President John F. Kennedy Jr., creating a deadly conspiracy while altering the fate of a nation.". The film is said to take place 48 hours before the assassination, telling the mob's version of the story.

Directed by Pulitzer Prize winner and Oscar nominee David Mamet ("Wag the Dog"), the film is written by Mamet and Nicholas Celozzi, who based the script on his great uncle, the Chicago mob boss Sam Giancana, who may have played a significant role in orchestrating Kennedy’s assassination. According to details shared by Celozzi's late uncle Pepe (Giancana’s brother), the mob's hand in the assassination was payback for the president's alleged snubbing of Giancana and his campaign against organized crime, despite his reliance on the mob during elections.

Oscar-winning director of photography Robert Elswitt ("There Will Be Blood"), is the film's cinematographer. Production is scheduled to start in September in Vancouver.
