In the midst of Hollywood’s remake heaven comes a star packed new version of 1949’s All the King’s Men, which starred Broderick Crawford and John Ireland. Difference this time is that Sean Penn is being sought for the role of Willie Stark, the populist politician whose rise and fall is at the center of the tale and Brad Pitt and Jude Law are three other names that have entered the mix.
Negotiations are yet to begin, but Steven Zaillian is set as the writer/director.
