Woody Harrelson is LBJ in the trailer for Rob Reiner’s new film

After powerful Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson (Woody Harrelson) loses the 1960 Democratic presidential nomination to Senator John F. Kennedy (Jeffrey Donovan), he agrees to be his young rival’s running mate. But once they win the election, despite his extensive legislative experience and shrewd political instincts, Johnson finds himself sidelined in the role of vice president. That all changes on Nov. 22, 1963, when Kennedy is assassinated and Johnson, with his devoted wife Lady Bird (Jennifer Jason Leigh) by his side, is suddenly thrust into the presidency.

Rob Reiner (When Harry Met Sally, Stand By Me, The Princess Bride), the film stars Woody Harrelson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jeffrey Donovan, Michael Stahl-David, Richard Jenkins, and Bill Pullman.

This is looking very good indeed. It is due out on 3rd November 2017.
