“Do you vouch for him? What if he misses?” Ketchup Entertainment has unveiled the official trailer for the film November 1963, a conspiracy thriller revisiting JFK’s assassination in 1963. From Oscar-nominated filmmaker Roland Joffé (of The Killing Fields, The Mission, Fat Man & Little Boy, City of Joy, The Scarlet Letter), who I thought was retired, but apparently not. November 1963 unfolds over a tense, 48-hour period surrounding one of the most shocking events in American history: the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. This film focuses on the other theory: that maybe the mob killed him. Starring John Travolta, Robert Carlyle, Dermot Mulroney, Mandy Patinkin, and Jefferson White, the film draws on first-hand accounts and insights from the family of Chicago crime boss Sam Giancana, and explores the alleged deal between Joe Kennedy and the Chicago Outfit that helped put JFK in the White House and the deadly betrayal that followed. “With a secret plan, a second shooter waiting in the shadows, and a ‘patsy’ positioned to take the fall, November 1963 reveals a side of the JFK assassination rarely seen before.” Well, this looks like a weird film. Why tell this story now & shift the focus from the CIA? Why is Travolta so into this? Huh.
Here’s the first official trailer (+ poster) for Roland Joffé’s movie November 1963, fromYouTube:
“One president. Two shooters. One conspiracy that changed history.” 🇺🇸 Based on a true story, November 1963, written by Nicolas Celozzi, the nephew of Chicago crime boss Sam Giancana, takes audiences inside the 48 hours surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (on November 22nd, 1963) and into the dark world of organized crime that may have been closer to the center of the story than history has revealed. With a secret plan, a second shooter waiting in the shadows, and a “patsy” positioned to take the fall, this film reveals a side of the assassination rarely seen before. November 1963 is directed by iconic Oscar-nominated English filmmaker Roland Joffé, director of the films The Killing Fields, The Mission, Fat Man & Little Boy, City of Joy, The Scarlet Letter, Goodbye Lover, Vatel, Captivity, You and I, There Be Dragons, The Lovers, The Forgiven previously. The screenplay is written by Nicholas Celozzi (the nephew of Chicago crime boss Sam Giancana); from a story by Joseph Giancana & Nicholas Celozzi. Produced by Kevin DeWalt, Carrie Wilkins, and Nicholas Celozzi. Ketchup Ent. debuts Joffé’s November 1963 conspiracy movie in select US theaters starting on November 20th, 2026 this fall. Anyone believe all this? Who’s in?
