Frost/Nixon is Ron Howard’s version of the acclaimed play of the same name by Peter Morgan. Play that delighted audiences in New York and London and finally people around the world will have the opportunity to enjoy. Produced by Brian Grazer of Imagine Entertainment, Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner of Working Title Films for Universal Pictures. If you think this is just another film based on Nixon’s Watergate scandal, you are in for a surprise. Frost/Nixon is that match of heavy weights that are determine to earn their tittles with power and determination. It is more than the historical interview.
It is the desire, the audacity and the determination of an underestimated David Frost to engrave his name in history. Characteristics that are marvelously acted by Michael Sheen in the role of Frost. On the other side is the intelligent, opportunistic and selfish Richard Nixon, who was also determined to use the media in his favor. Nixon who is portrait by Sir Frank Langella, who just dictated an acting clinic with this film and has set himself for a well deserved Oscar nomination. To supervise this match not other than Ron Howard who just know by nature how to add rush and adrenaline to a drama like no other. All orchestrated by the exceptional screenplay of Peter Morgan that far exceeded his original play. The end of this clash of the titans is one of the best pictures of the year.
