'The Front Runner': Steve Zissis calls Hugh Jackman starrer a 'period piece' reminiscent of 'The Candidate'
'The Front Runner', starring Hugh Jackman, Vera Farmiga, J. K. Simmons and a whole host of Hollywood bigwigs, is set for country-wide release Wednesday, November 21. Narrating the presidential dreams of Gary Hart and the untimely death of them, is the subject of this movie, which also stars Steve Zissis as Miami Herald journalist Tom Fiedler, who in the 1980s more or less took down Hart’s entire campaign.
Zissis, who for the first time in his career got the opportunity to play a real-life character spoke to Meaww about how wonderful an experience being a part of the project was. “It was such a wonderful experience because of Jason Reitman, who is such a brilliant director, first of all. I am such a fan of so many of his movies and many people are saying that this is probably his best film.”
