Yes, you read that right. The director of the steamy 50 Shades of Grey, Sam Taylor-Johnson, has departed the Ted Kennedy film Chappaquiddick. Apparently, he's not the man to make a movie on Kennedy. Taylor-Johnson will be replaced by filmmaker John Curran. According to Deadline Hollywood, producer Mark Ciardi said of Jason Clarke, who will be playing Ted Kennedy: “Clarke is the perfect choice to take on the complexities of this role.”

I would think a porn maker would be the ideal candidate to make a movie about a Kennedy.

Will it be an honest portrayal of Chappaquiddick, the events of that night, the Kennedy lifestyle, all of that??? or will it be some sort of whitewash???
Are the writers/directors/produers, etc. liberal?? I just wonder if this will be any sort of realistic telling of the story, or an attempt to paint Kennedy in the most favorable light.

"Clarke is the perfect choice to take on the complexities of this role.” yeah, the complexities of do I stay and save the girl or run hide to save my career. What to do...what do to. Kennedy was a murderer and an overall bad man.

Apparently, he's not the man to make a movie on Kennedy. Sam Taylor-Johnson is a woman.

Who cares?
It will all be whitewashed facts and lies.

Who’s story will be told?
Kennedy’s story that he sold to his wife and the press reported... or what really happened that night?

For the closest to the truth account of what happened at Chappaquidick, read “Senatorial Privilege” by Leo Damore, 1988.
Not dated and a fascinating read. Puts The Swimmer’s rep in the toilet for good, or at least it should have.
