HBO/Hanks/Playtone JFK Assassination Series Set For 2013 Release [View All]

[stopbush]

Looks like the Tom Hanks-produced miniseries based on Vincent Bugliosi's book Reclaiming History is on track for a 2013 release to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination. Actor Bill Paxton discussed the series on the Tavis Smiley show back in March:

Paxton: "And then in 2000 (unintelligible) the 50th anniversary of the assassination. And I thought, has anyone ever just told this story without bias, without an agenda, without a conspiracy? Just tell it as a human interest story. And as I researched it I found out Vincent Bugliosi was just about to release a book which is unbelievable, it's a cellular analysis called "Reclaiming History."

"I took this to Tom. Tom Hanks' company, Playtone, do these long-form series about American history - "John Adams," "Band of Brothers," "Earth to Moon." And so Tom said, "This is our next project." So we're working on it for 2013."
