New Regency has just closed a deal for a RFK (aka Bobby Kennedy) biopic with Matt Damon attached for the lead. Of course, his participation depends on final script approval, but the film will be based on the Evan Thomas biography His Life with Gary Ross directing and scribe Steven Knight.

The movie will follow Kennedy's transformation from living in the shadow of his brother John to becoming a national leader, which led to his own assassination in 1968.

Wowsa! Sounds like Oscar material!

      Snooze-fest! We already know way too much about this always glorified, yet totally dysfunctional, criminal family. Let's see . . . . two of them were murdered and how many people again did they murder? Just sayin'

      REPORTER: "Mr. Kennedy, you have been accused of being ruthless."
      RFK: "Tell me who has called me ruthless and I will destroy him."

      I'm sure he can do the accent, and they will have to give him prosthetic chipmunk teeth. and a wig.

      I hate all the Kennedys, dead or alive.

      Great. Just what we need. Another Kennedy Crime Family movie. They all suck and don't deserve the attention they get. The only good thing thats happened to this bunch of drunks, murderers, cripplers, rapists and pedophiles is that finally the head drunken murderer shit the bed. Good riddance to all of them.
