The Last Campaign: Robert F. Kennedy and 82 Days That Inspired America Release Date: Friday December 18th 2009 / Friday Janary 8th 2010 Theaters: 600 / 2,400 Budget: 64,500,000 Genre: Political Drama Rated: PG-13 Descrption: When Senator Robert F. Kennedy entered the presidential race during the chaotic year of 1968, anarchy appeared to be gathering on the horizon. America was coming to grips with an unwinnable war in Vietnam and unacceptable social policies at home. The Last Campaign examines Kennedy's bold (and tragically shortened) efforts to awaken his country's social conscience and moral sensibility. The movie reveals a very human politician who often trembled at the podium and scanned crowds for an assassin's glare. Though motivated to serve by an unwavering desire to help the poor and oppressed, Kennedy also lived with a deep fear that his life would be cut short by violence. "I'm afraid there are guns between me and the White House," he prophetically remarked during the spring of '68. Yet The Last Campaign chooses not to explore what could have been. Instead, focuses on what is certain: for an 82-day period, Kennedy "convinced millions of Americans that he was a good man, perhaps a great man." Stars: Sean Penn as Robert F. Kennedy, Diane Lane, Kate Winslet, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Daniel Day-Lewis Director: Gus Van Sandt Music: "The Road" (Jason Mraz) " '68 " (Bon Jovi)

I am really excited for this, I see it being the "Milk" or "Frost/Nixon" of next year, a great political movie.

I like it a lot too, although I think "The Last Campaign" sounds far better than the elongated title, that seems like the lifetime titles. It should be really good Do you have any other cast members picked out?
