Chris Pine to play Robert F. Kennedy in Hulu limited series

  • Chris Pine

    It’s unclear if the project — based on Larry Tye’s 2016 biography Bobby Kennedy: The Making of a Liberal Icon — will be timed with the 50th anniversary of RFK’s assassination in June 2018. The untitled project comes after the success of Hulu’s JFK assassination limited series 11.22.63. As Deadline notes, Tye’s biography portrays RFK as “a bare-knuckle operative, cynical White House insider and romantic visionary. The biography was based on hundreds of interviews with Kennedy intimates, including his widow, Ethel, and access to unpublished memoirs, unreleased government files, and boxes of Kennedy papers that had been locked away for some 40 years.”
