A Ron Howard Movie I Can Actually Be Excited About!
April 21st, 2008
Maybe that’s because it’s really a Peter Morgan movie . . . Frost/Nixon.
After Morgan’s work on The Queen and The Last King of Scotland (despite its flaws), he’s quickly become one of my favorite screenwriters. I haven’t yet seen The Other Boleyn Girl, but my impression is that his snazzy political writing raised it above the level of historical smut. Frost/Nixon is the screen adaptation of Morgan’s own stage play, and it reunites his words with Michael Sheen’s acting.
Nevertheless, if anything could mess up a Peter Morgan project, I’ve feared that it might be Ron Howard–so I was pleased to see this enthusiastic review at Ain’t It Cool News.
Frost/Nixon is out December 5, 2008, stateside.
