Preview:Death of a President
A film that depicts the fictional assassination of President GEORGE W. BUSH doesn't hit theaters until October 27, but tonight, we have your first look at the movie's trailer!
The fictional drama, 'Death of a President,' mixes archival footage with narrative elements, and focuses on the assassination of President Bush in the style of a retrospective documentary. The movie, which quickly became one of the most talked about movies at the recent Toronto Film Festival, will be distributed by Newmarket Films. Newmarket also released the controversial 'Passion of the Christ.'
"It's a striking premise which may be seen as highly controversial," said the film's writer and director, GABRIEL RANGE. But it's a serious film which I hope will open up the debate on where current US foreign and domestic policies are taking us."
In the film, President Bush arrives in Chicago and is confronted by anti-war protesters. As he leaves a venue where he has just made a speech to business leaders, he is shot and killed by a sniper. While the world reacts to the stunning turn of events, a nation-wide manhunt for his killer sweeps through the United States.
Hailed by those who've seen it as breathtakingly original and dangerous, the ninety-minute film is shot in such a way that every inch of the fictional murder of the president appears real, frightening and highly plausible.
