Anthony Hopkins and Demi Moore Targeting Kennedy Pic

Anthony Hopkins will join the cast of "Bobby," Emilio Estevez's passion project about the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, financed and produced by Bold Films, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

While Hopkins will play the LA's Ambassador Hotel doorman, Demi Moore is in negotiations to star as a lounge singer, in the new film thet chronicles the intertwining lives of a grand cast of 22 people, in the hours leading up to Kennedy's assassination, on June 4th, 1968.

"My intention with Bobby is not to make a political picture, although the 1968 California primary figures prominently in the story. The film is about being at critical mass--critical mass in relationships or between race, and the hotel and the characters under its roof serve as a microcosm for what was happening in the country during that time.
The entire country was experiencing critical mass. Culturally, we all unraveled after that tragic night on June 5. And now, 37 years later, our country has reached critical mass once again," writer and director Emilio Estevez said.

A possible location for the shooting, which is set to begin on October 25, might be the Baltimore Hotel, as the real Ambassador is closed for demolition.
