The National Geographic Channel will air tomorrow night (in the U.S.) a TV movie based on Bill O’Reilly’s bestselling book, “Killing Kennedy.” It stars Rob Lowe as President John F. Kennedy, Ginnifer Goodwin as First Lady Jacqueline (Jackie) Kennedy, Will Rothhaar as Lee Harvey Oswald and Michelle Trachtenberg as Marina Oswald. This movie comes just in time to mark the 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination.
The reviews for this movie have not been so great (L.A. Times and Variety), but it might be worth your time if you aren’t too familiar with the JFK assassination.
If you want a little behind-the-scenes information on the marketing campaign, check out The Client Blog’s article, “Killing Kennedy” – TV and Print Campaign (Part 1 of 2) and “Killing Kennedy” – Painting an Icon.

U.S. – Sunday Nov. 10, 8pm
U.K. – Tuesday Nov. 12, 9pm
