Original Message David Mamet is set to direct a new film retelling the assassination of John F. Kennedy from the mob’s point of view, but rather than just having a bunch of Italian guys watching the news and saying “this is an American tragedy that we had absolutely nothing to do with,” the movie will assert that—dramatic pause—the mob had something to do with it. Specifically, Mamet’s film—2 Days/1963—is operating under the theory that Chicago mobster Sam Giancana arranged Kennedy’s assassination as payback for his attempts to undermine the mob after they helped get him elected (a big part of Oliver Stone’s JFK).

On top of that, the film will have an added layer of (arguable) credibility, with Giancana’s actual grandnephew, Nicholas Celozzi, writing the script (Mamet, who is apparently some sort of accomplished playwright, will be doing a rewrite). This all comes from Deadline, with Celozzi saying that some of his information comes from chats he’d have with his family, like an uncle who was supposedly with Giancana during the two days he was in Dallas orchestrating the assassination and who was “the fly on the wall” during all of it.
