Chris Pine to play Robert F. Kennedy in new Hulu miniseries
As reported by Deadline, Chris Pine has signed on to star in an untitled limited series about Robert F. Kennedy for Hulu, with The Good Wife executive producer Todd E. Kessler writing and executive producing. The show will be based on Larry Tye’s Bobby Kennedy: The Making Of A Liberal Icon, with the Deadline story explaining that the book depicts Kennedy as a “bare-knuckle operative, cynical White House insider, and romantic visionary,” and it drew upon “hundreds of interviews with Kennedy intimates” as well as “unpublished memoirs, unreleased government files,” and boxes of “locked away” papers.
