Former Caped Crusader Michael Keaton will star alongside one-time Robin, Joseph Gordon-Levitt (“The Dark Knight Rises”), in Aaron Sorkin’s “The Trial of the Chicago 7”.
Keaton, along with William Hurt and K.C MacKenzie (“The Irishman”), have boarded the heavy-going drama based on the infamous 1969 trial of seven defendants charged by the federal government with conspiracy and more, arising from the countercultural protests at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The trial transfixed the nation and sparked a conversation intended to undermine the U.S. government.
Frank Langella, Mark Rylance, Eddie Redmayne, Sacha Baron Cohen, Jeremy Strong, Alex Sharp, and Kelvin Harrison Jr are also locked for the film, which gets a limited theatrical release September 25, 2020 and a wide bow on October 2, 2020.
Keaton is Ramsey Clark in the film, while Hurt is John Mitchell.
