“Fifty Shades of Grey” helmer Sam Taylor-Johnson is in talks to direct “Chappaquiddick”, Taylor Allen and Andrew Logan’s 2015 Black List script.
“Chappaquiddick is a political thriller that chronicles the true story of what is described as the seven most dramatic days of [Senator Ted] Kennedy’s life.
On the eve of the moon landing, Senator Kennedy becomes entangled in a tragic car accident that results in the death of former Robert Kennedy campaign worker Mary Jo Kopechne. The senator struggles to follow his own moral compass and simultaneously protect his family’s legacy, all while simply trying to keep his own political ambitions alive” (via THR).
Mark Ciardi is producing with Apex’s Campbell McInnes and Chris Cowles of DMG Entertainment.
