Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman are set to produce the indie ensemble drama "Parkland"--about President John F. Kennedy's assassination says Variety.
Writer Peter Landesman is set to make his directorial debut on the film which chronicles the fateful day and private citizen Abraham Zapruder's famous film of the event.
The story explores the impact the assassination had on numerous characters in and around Dallas that day including an FBI agent, a young doctor, a reporter, Secret Service agents, Kennedy's staff, Oswald's older brother, The First Lady and Zapruder.
The title refers to the hospital where JFK was pronounced dead, his assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, died two days later, and Oswald's killer Jack Ruby died several years after that.
