This could just be the Oscar Best Picture of 2016.
I cannot imagine the Ted Kennedy heroics we will see in this historically accurate film.
See the handsome brave Ted Kennedy bravely attempt to salvage his political career after getting drunk and sneaking out with a young attractive campaign worker for a little extra martial sex.

Naa.

Mary Jo: “Ted, I think I'm Pregnant”

Ted: “We'll cross that bridge when we get there, Mary Jo”

On the heels of actor Will Ferrell pulling out of a planned "Alzheimer's comedy" about Ronald Reagan comes news that Hollywood is preparing a feature film about late Senator Ted Kennedy and the drowning of Mary Jo Kopechne at Chappaquiddick.

Is it me, or is the author trying to somehow equivocate that the Reagan movie would have been on a par with the Kennedy tale? Am I missing something?

Perhaps it will be revealed that Ted saved the world from the evil machinations of Mary Jo.

It certainly will! I wouldn't be surprised if they make that drunken scumbag into a hero.

Australian-born "Zero Dark Thirty" star Jason Clarke will portray Kennedy in "Chappaquiddick"

...only because Foster Brooks is no longer with us.

"...and said he made several futile attempts to rescue Kopechne, who was trapped inside."

He lied. He was too drunk to mount any kind of rescue attempt. Plus the timing of the events prove that he did nothing except get the hell away from the scene. The senator did not report the fatal car accident for 10 hours.

"It looked as if she were holding herself up to get a last breath of air. It was a consciously assumed position. ... She didn't drown. She died of suffocation in her own air void. It took her at least three or four hours to die. I could have had her out of that car twenty-five minutes after I got the call. But he [Ted Kennedy] didn't call."
- - testimony of diver John Farrar, Inquest into the Death of Mary Jo Kopechne, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Edgartown District Court.

Mary Jo Kopechne died for her country. Without her death, Ted would have been elected president.
