JFK Pic ‘Parkland’ Lands A Simple Patriotic Poster

America has never been the same since the unforgettable date of the 22nd November 1963. What occurred in Dallas, Texas on that day is forever etched into the conciseness of the people and popular culture. Now, after a countless novelisations, documentaries, television and film attempts at depicting the events of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, we’ve one centred on the people who tried their best to save his life following the shooting by Lee Harvey Oswald (and/or those fellas on the grassy knoll), as well as those who gave us some the major details that have become part of history.

Writer-director Peter Landesman is the man behind the superbly cast PARKLAND. A gripping dramatisation centred on number of ordinary individuals suddenly thrust into extraordinary circumstances. It’s based on the book “Four Days In November,” by renowned author and former prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi and we have the first US one-sheet from the film produced by Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman.

November 22nd, 1963 was a day that changed the world forever – when young American President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. We follow in almost real time a handful of individuals forced to make split-second decisions after this incomprehensible event that would change their lives and forever alter our world’s landscape: the young doctors and nurses at Parkland Hospital, the chief of the Dallas Secret Service, the unwitting cameraman who captured what has become the most watched and examined film in history, the FBI Agents who had gunman Lee Harvey Oswald within their grasp and Vice President Lyndon Johnson who had to take control of a country in a moment’s notice. Thrust into a scenario of unprecedented drama with unimaginable consequences, these key characters respond with shock, outrage, determination and courage. Woven together, their seemingly disparate perspectives make one of the most thrilling and powerful stories never told.

PARKLAND stars Zac Efron, Marcia Gay Harden, Billy Bob Thornton, Jacki Weaver, Paul Giamatti, James Badge Dale, Jackie Earle Haley, Colin Hanks, David Harbour, Ron Livingston, Jeremy Strong and Tom Welling. It’s released in US cinemas 20th September and the UK 8th November. Check out the first set of stills here.
