Image
ET Online posted the following article : With the best per-screen-average of any film released in 2008 , audiences are hungry for the real story of what went on behind the scenes of the 'Frost/Nixon' interviews. Now, Academy Award-winning director and producer team Ron Howard and Brian Grazer reveal their take on this pivotal moment in political and television history. "It's one of those stories where you think you know something about it, and it turns out as you delve into it [that] it's so much more complicated, so much more entertaining," Howard says. "There's more at stake emotionally than you ever could have imagined." In select theaters now, 'Frost/Nixon' is based on Peter Morgan's dramatic stage play that recreates the compelling 1977 TV interviews between British talk-show host David Frost ( Michael Sheen ) and former president Richard Nixon ( Frank Langella ), just a few years after his resignation amid the Watergate sc...
