Being that JFK is one of my all-time greatest films, any project revolving around the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is going to fascinate me. Add into the mix the involvement of the great playwright-turned-filmmaker David Mamet, and BLACKBIRD is now up there with MAN OF STEEL as one of my must-sees before a scene is shot.
Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett has now been officially confirmed to lead the nail-biting conspiracy thriller as a woman named Janet, who travels to Los Angeles for her grandfather’s funeral. Once there she discovers that his day job as a Hollywood visual effects artist hid a dark secret that he moonlighted as U.S. special ops agencies and may have been responsible for the notorious murder and cover-up of the beloved Commander-In-Cheif.
