Produced by Scott Free Productions and based on the best-selling book by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard, the film chronicles this build-up to one of America’s most shocking events: the assassination of President John F. Kennedy by Lee Harvey Oswald.

Starring Rob Lowe (President John F. Kennedy) and Will Rothhaar (Lee Harvey Oswald), with Michelle Trachtenberg (Marina Oswald) and Ginnifer Goodwin (Jacqueline Kennedy), the film charts the highs and lows of two men and two relationships that would eventually intersect with two shocking deaths that stunned a nation.

The historical details of what happened on the day of Kennedy’s assassination, and the shocking days that followed, are well known to millions. The film will take audiences deeper inside the story than ever before by examining the events that led both men to Dallas on that fateful day in November 1963, and by offering a rare and human look at the people at the centre of it all.

Lee Harvey Oswald remains one of American history’s most infamous figures, but one few know much about. Killing Kennedy will reveal Oswald as more than just a two-dimensional villain, but as a troubled man who wanted nothing more than for someone to take notice of him — a wish he saw granted for fewer than 48 hours before meeting his own spectacular and untimely demise.

JFK was so much more than I think people realize,” says Lowe. “My goal was to play a husband, a father, a brother, a man with a big job who loved and was funny, and smart, and charming, and flawed, and inspired.”“JFK represented so much not just to me, but to all of us,” Lowe said. “And to be able to embody his story as part of this amazing project on the 50th anniversary of his death was an exciting, humbling, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
