The two-hour TV movie hails from Oscar-winning
documentarian Bill Couturieand will feature 20 A-list celebrities reading
poignant letters sent to the then-first lady in the two months following JFK's
November 1963 assassination.
During that period, the White House received more than
800,000 condolence letters from everyday Americans, including a polio-stricken
13-year-old offering words of strength for the first lady, a Peace Corps
volunteer who mourns the loss while stationed in Ethiopia
and a black woman who expressed her pride and gratitude for President Kennedy's
work in the civil
rights movement.
"Letters to Jackie: Remembering President Kennedyis a
beautiful and moving tribute to a nation at a time of mourning. While the
national lost its president, Jackie Kennedy lost her husband and the father of
her children, and these letters explore how some of the most relatable moments
can happen during such a remarkable time,” TLC GM Amy Winter said.
Actors poised to read the letters as part of the film include Demian
Bichir, Jessica Chastain, Chris Cooper, Viola Davis, Zooey
Deschanel, Kirsten Dunst, Anne Hathaway, Allison
Janney, John Krasinski, Melissa Leo, Laura Linney,Frances
McDormand, Chloe Moretz, Mark Ruffalo, Octavia
Spencer, Hailee Steinfeld, Channing Tatum, Betty
White and Michelle Williams.
"It has been a honor making Letters to Jackie, and
we are beyond proud to share these stories of how America
came together and offered their support and beautiful words with Mrs. Kennedy,
and honored the legacy of a president renowned for his work with civil rights,
foreign affairs and social programs. Now, the entire country can experience
this incredible moment in history through its premiere on
TLC," Couturie said.
Amblin Television and the Couturie Company
co-produced Letters to Jackie. Amblin'sDarryl
Frank and Justin Falvey executive produced the entry, which was
written, directed and produced by Couturie and based on Ellen
Fitzpatrick's book Letters to Jackie: Condolences From a Grieving Nation.
Couturie earned an Academy Award for his 1989 documentary
feature Common Threads: Stories From the Quilt, which featured a
collection of profiles of those remembered as part of the AIDS Memorial Quilt.
His 1991 documentary short Memorial: Letters From American Soldiers was
nominated for best documentary short subject.

Reelz to Present Documentary JFK: THE SMOKING GUN This
November
ReelzChannel -
TV About Movies(R) today announced the network has acquired U.S.
rights for the documentary JFK: THE SMOKING GUN in which Veteran Police
Detective Colin McLaren spent four years on the forensic cold case
investigation of JFK's assassination. What he had, and other investigators did
not, was modern technology and access to all the evidence, facts and
eye-witness testimony. He managed to solve a crime that is every bit as
shocking and incredible today as it was when it happened 50 years ago. McLaren
believes he has found the "smoking gun" that killed JFK.
This special investigative documentary with dramatic re-creations takes audiences back to that tragic day inDallas
at Dealey Plaza ,
to Parkland Hospital
where the president was pronounced dead, to the Bethesda
Naval Hospital
where the autopsy was conducted and to the conclusions of the Warren Commission
that have remained controversial to this day. It uses time-tested investigative
techniques to solve the crime.
The documentary special is produced by Muse Entertainment (The Kennedys) and Cordell/Jigsaw/Zapruder (Go Back Where You Came From). It is written by Steve Lucas (Exhibit A: Secrets of Forensic Science), directed by Malcolm McDonald (On the Trail of Genghis Khan) and produced by Jesse Prupas (March to the Top) and Michael Cordell (Anatomy of a Massacre). Executive Producers are Michael Prupas (Pillars of the Earth) and Simon Egan (The King's Speech).
JFK: The Smoking Gun is concurrently being offered for sale at MIPTV through Muse Distribution.
