Looks like Bryan Cranston may soon be appearing on our TV screens again!
Earlier this month, it was revealed that Steven Spielberg is currently in the process of gaining the rights to turn Robert Schenkkan’s Broadway play All the Way into either a miniseries or a movie. He wants Bryan Cranston to reprise his Tony Award-winning role as former President Lyndon B. Johnson.
Cranston revealed new details about the project to Vulture, saying, “I don’t know if it’s a miniseries as much as an HBO movie. They want to see and honor the story, and so if it needs to be maybe four hours then it might be a two-hour and two-hour kind of thing.”
The Breaking Bad star added that Schenkkan is penning the script for the film, but the TV movie would not include Schenkkan’s second play about LBJ, The Great Society, which will debut next month.
All the Way takes place during LBJ’s first year in office, spanning from the Kennedy assassination until his re-election in 1964. It focuses on LBJ’s efforts in receiving support from Congress and civil rights leaders, such as Martin Luther King, Jr., for the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
