Product Details
Sean Penn gives an electrifying performance as rising politician Willie Stark in ALL THE KINGS MEN the second film based on Robert Penn Warrens Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. In 1949 the original ALL THE KINGS MEN directed by Robert Rossen was a huge hit earning Oscars for Best Picture Best Actor (Broderick Crawford) and Best Supporting Actress (Mercedes McCambridge) But whereas the novel and first film set the story of pride ambition jealousy and dirty politics in pre-World War II Louisiana writer-director Steven Zaillian (SEARCHING FOR BOBBY FISCHER) moves the action to the 1950s a much different time in American history with the Great Depression and the war over and McCarthyism just around the corner. Stark starts out as a man of the people proud to be a hick wanting to make a difference to the struggling families in his community. But the smell of power leads to back-room corruption lies and betrayal. Stark surrounds himself with smart well-connected people including journalist (and narrator) Jack Burden (Jude Law) right-hand man Tiny Duffy (James Gandolfini) and doctor Adam Stanton (Mark Ruffalo) using them as both willing and unwilling players in his march to the top. The all-star cast also includes Kate Winslet as Stantons sister and a former love of Burdens Anthony Hopkins as a compromised judge and Jackie Earle Haley as a Stark thug. The film is gorgeously shot by Pawel Edelman with an emotional soundtrack by James Horner and period music supervised by T Bone Burnett (O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU ). Interestingly Zaillian chose not to watch the original film basing his screenplay solely on the novel. The remake was the brainchild of former Bill Clinton adviser James Carville who is one of the executive producers of this stirring political film.Region B
