Oliver Stone’s controbersial JFK theory
is brought to life by a cast of Hollywood’s finest talent including Kevin Costner (The
Bodyguard, Dances with Wolves) and Tommy Lee Jones (Men in Black, The
Fugitive) as well as Gary Oldman (Hannibal, Dracula, True
Romance), Kevin Bacon (Hollow Man, Flatliners, A Few Good Men)
and Sissy Spacek (Carrie, Blast from the Past).
Stunning, powerful, enthralling and well-researched, JFK
looks at the events surrounding the proposed conspiracy of the assassination of President
John Fitzgerald Kennedy on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas. New Orleans District
Attorney Jim Garrison (Costner) begins a probe into the actions of the FBI and other
officials and soon discovers that there is more to the story than the public was told.
Whatever you choose to believe, Oliver Stones JFK
played a significant role in the debate that led to the passage of the 1992 Assassination
Materials Disclosure Act (all FBI films and investigations to be revealed in 2036).
From Texas in the sixties to Vietnam at the height of
the conflict, Heaven & Earth, the third title in Stone’s Vietnam trilogy
is released to DVD in April. Tommy Lee Jones stars with Joan Chen (Twin
Peaks, Turtle Beach, The Last Emperor) in this powerful tale of
devastation - a man who fought, a woman who endured and a love caught up in the explosive
wartime upheaval of a land and a people caught between Heaven and Earth.
