“The Dark Tower” director Nikolaj Arcel has signed on to direct Matt Damon in the Robert F. Kennedy biopic “RFK” at Warner Bros. Pictures.

Kennedy ran the successful 1960 presidential campaign for his brother John F. Kennedy and served as U.S. Attorney General and top adviser between 1961 and 1963.

He remained in the post for President Lyndon B. Johnson for several months after his brother’s assassination, then resigned to run for the U.S. Senate and served until his assassination in June 1968 while seeking the Democratic presidential nomination.

Arcel will direct from a script he co-wrote with Rasmus Heisterberg and Felipe Marino. Damon, Jennifer Todd and Drew Vinton will produce with shooting expected to start next year.

Chris Pine To Play Bobby Kennedy For Hulu

Chris Pine has been set to portray Robert Kennedy, brother of John F. Kennedy, in an upcoming untitled limited series for Hulu, Overbrook Entertainment and Sony Pictures TV Studios.

Based on Larry Tye’s bestselling 2016 political biography, the story offers a detailed portrait of Bobby Kennedy as “a bare-knuckle operative, cynical White House insider and romantic visionary”.

Todd E. Kessler (“The Good Wife,” “Nashville”) will pen the adaptation and executive produce with Pine, Tye, James Lassiter and Caleeb Pinkett.

Pine has both Ava DuVernay’s “A Wrinkle In Time” and David Mackenzie’s “Outlaw King” due next year, and will shortly re-team with his “Wonder Woman” director Patty Jenkins on TNT’s mini-series “One Day She’ll Darken”.
