[I]Rob Lowe as John F. Kennedy in the National Geographic Channel's film, Killing Kennedy.[/I][/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]The National Geographic Channel is a little all over the place when it comes to their programming. There's some nature material, there's some fairly sensational reality stuff (Doomsday Preppers, for instance), and there are historical documentaries and, sometimes, historical scripted films. Their presentation at press tour thus covered a lot of ground and included both an upcoming Preppers spin-off called Doomsday Castle — about a man who is getting his kids to help build a bunker that will survive a power-failure apocalypse — and the film Killing Kennedy, a drama adapted from Bill O'Reilly's best-selling book about John F. Kennedy and Lee Harvey Oswald.

Well, the man did have one distinct accent.

I wasn't aware they were making a film about "Killing Kennedy".

I read the book a couple of weeks ago, and I was very presently surprised with it. Despite being written by a very opinionated conservative commentator, the book doesn't push any agenda and is filled with an enormous amount of detail.

I honestly thought the thread was going to be about playing the JFK reloaded game

[Cl0cK]

I hope he LITERALLY nails the role.

Lowe can be a very good actor.

Its a pity the brunt prime of his career was killed by some silly shit.
