Frost/Nixon
Genre: Period, Biopic, Political, Drama
Release Date: December 5
Cast: Frank Langella, Martin Sheen, Kevin Bacon, Sam Rockwell, Toby Jones, Oliver Platt, Rebecca Hall
Scoop: Summer 1977. A drama charting the televised battle between Richard Nixon (Langella), the disgraced president with a legacy to save, and David Frost (Sheen), a jet-setting TV personality with a name to make, in the untold story of the historic encounter in which the former commander-in-chief agreed to sit for one all-inclusive interview to confront the Watergate scandal that ended his presidency.
If a Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words, We Say: "Don't even try-y-y-y it!" is clearly what's on Nixon's mind, as he shakes the hand of dashing David Frost. The body lingo says it all. These men are about to engage in a fierce tango...of words, wit and Watergate. Stand by.
Snapshot Prediction: 4 out of 5 flashes
