Mamet is set to make a comeback as Deadline is reporting that he has signed up to direct “2 Days/1963”, a drama about how notorious Chicago mobster Sam Giancana arranged the assassination of President John F Kennedy as revenge for trying to bring down organized crime, this after the mob helped put JFK in the White House. It’s still a conspiracy theory to this day, but Mamet, and plenty of others, believe this was what sealed JFK’s untimely fate. The theory was even featured in Oliver Stone’s “JFK.” Mamet, who was twice Oscar-nominated and also won the Pulitzer Prize, will pen the script. Bonnie Giancana, daughter of the late mobster, will be a consultant and executive producer. Mamet is known for his wittily acidic dialogue. In fact, a term was invented for his style of writing: “Mamet speak.” Mamet’s style of writing is cynical, edgy, street and precisely crafted for effect. It can be seen and heard in some of his better-known works, those include “House of Games”, “Homicide”, “Glengary Glen Ross”, “Wag the Dog”, “The Spanish Prisoner” and “Heist.” Contribute Hire me
