STONE: The only thing you have left besides the memory of people, is the final documents. And the autopsy was the biggest miscarriage of all.ĭEADLINE: Beyond the documentary, is there an endgame here? Is there anywhere else this investigation can go? Rifle, fingerprints, ballistics, trajectories – wrong, wrong, wrong. STONE: All the original evidence is wrong. It was the atmosphere of doubt that was right.ĭEADLINE: The doc sheds some new light on the assassination from documents that are public but haven’t really been in the mainstream before. Roger Ebert said, ‘I’m not a historian I’m a film critic, but I can tell this feels right’. The film was questioned for its legitimacy. STONE: Rob Wilson, my producer, said, ‘Let’s make a documentary that shows people there are more facts here’. ĭEADLINE: How did the new doc come about?

A three hour-plus movie with a lot of facts. STONE: They always say that but they had to take a chance, Terry Semel and Bob Daly at Warner Bros believed in the film. STONE: I don’t think the new management at Warner Bros would touch the film now, or the doc. But they allowed that to happen without any previews, which was a rarity, because we finished in time.ĭEADLINE: That was a show of faith from the studio. The original already pushed the limits back in 1991, anything above three hours was against my contract at Warner Bros. The original is three hours and 10 minutes. I suggested we show the director’s cut, it’s less known.ĭEADLINE: That will be fun late night on the beach, though it’s pretty a long movie… I went to Lyon last year for the first time showing Born On The Fourth Of July, and he said, ‘It’s JKF’s 30th anniversary coming up next year, we’d like to celebrate it in France, it’s a special film for us’. DEADLINE: How does it feel to be back at a film festival premiering a new movie? And showing an old one too.
