EXCLUSIVE: MadRiver Pictures has set James Gray to direct its untitled John F. Kennedy biopic, which will focus on JFK’s evolution from an unremarkable young man desperate to prove his mettle to his powerful father, into a WWII hero whose triumph over adversity-hardened leadership skills that forged his path to the White House.
Gray will rewrite a script that was first penned by Samuel Franco & Evan Kilgore, and the plan is to get underway next year.
