Frost/Nixon Poster
Poster for the upcoming Ron Howard-directed “Frost/Nixon” film is unveiled.
The film is based on the popular Broadway production, by the same name, and focuses on interview Nixon gave, post-resignation, to English journalist David Frost. Nixon spoke about the Watergate scandal during the sessions, which aired in 1977.
Oscar-winning director Ron Howard brings to the screen writer Peter Morgan’s (”The Queen,” “The Last King of Scotland”) electrifying battle between Richard Nixon, the disgraced president with a legacy to save, and David Frost, a jet-setting television personality with a name to make, in the untold story of the historic encounter that changed both: “Frost/Nixon.” Reprising their roles from Morgan’s stageplay are Frank Langella, who won a Tony for his portrayal of Nixon, and Michael Sheen, who fully inhabited the part of Frost onstage in London and New York.
