I think Ron Howard has found himself a real winner with his next flick and Kevin Bacon is set to join the fray. The film is Frost/Nixon and on top of Bacon the film stars the immortal Sam Rockwell, Toby Jones and Matthew Macfadyen.
Frost/Nixon is an adaptation of the hit Peter Morgan play based on a series of televised interviews that David Frost secured with former President Nixon in 1977. The final interview ended with Nixon tacitly admitting his guilt regarding his role in the Watergate scandal. Frank Langella and Michael Sheen are reprising their Broadway roles as Nixon and Frost, respectively.
Bacon’s role in the whole thing will be to play Nixon’s chief of staff Jack Brennan.
Production gets underway later this summer.
