Jessica Chastain, Brendan Fraser and Bryan Cranston have been added to the cast of Barry Levinson’s mystery thriller ‘Assassination’.
Chastain, Fraser, and Cranston joined the previously announced cast of Al Pacino on the call sheet.
Centering on the JFK assassination, the movie is inspired by Dorothy Kilgallen (Chastain), one of the most famous voices in media at the time. When she suspects that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone, she uses her fame and influence to find President John F. Kennedy’s real killer. Part murder mystery, part film noir, Kilgallen’s journey will put her up against the CIA, mafia bosses and the FBI, all who would love nothing more than to make her and this story disappear.
