SYNOPSIS
From producers Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman and writer/director Peter Landesman, PARKLAND is the true story behind a tragic day in history you thought you knew, but didn’t, and couldn’t, until now…50 years later.
November 22nd, 1963 was a day that changed the world forever – when young American President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. We follow in almost real time a handful of individuals forced to make split-second decisions after this incomprehensible event that would change their lives and forever alter our world’s landscape: the young doctors and nurses at Parkland Hospital, the chief of the Dallas Secret Service, the unwitting cameraman who captured what has become the most watched and examined film in history, the FBI Agents who had gunman Lee Harvey Oswald within their grasp and Vice President Lyndon Johnson who had to take control of a country in a moment’s notice. Thrust into a scenario of unprecedented drama with unimaginable consequences, these key characters respond with shock, outrage, determination and courage. Woven together, their seemingly disparate perspectives make one of the most thrilling and powerful stories never told.

Updates News
Tom Welling’s new role is now revealed as Agent Roy Kellerman
Quote :
Tom Welling will be playing an agent, a very important one, Roy Kellerman, in his new upcoming movie ”Parkland”. His character was revealed by his co-star, Marcia Gay Harden, on twitter. Roy Kellerman was a U.S. secret service agent who worked side by side with President John F. Kennedy, and was in charge of his protection during the motorcade in Dallas, the day of the assassination. In his reports, later testimony and interviews, Kellerman outlines, in detail, his role in the immediate aftermath of the assassination. Controlling key evidence of the crime and guiding doctors during the official autopsy at Bethesda Naval Hospital. There has been some reports saying that Kellerman believed that there was a conspiracy behind the death of JFK.
Matt Barr has joined the cast of Parkland. The Hatfields & McCoys’ actor will play surgeon Paul Mikkelson in the JFK assassination drama. The character is a close friend and workmate to Zac Efron’s doctor character. The duo is in the trauma care unit when the wounded President is brought in on November 23, 1963.

Parkland Script Review
Spoiler:
Spoiler On 2.6 I expressed disappointment that Peter Landesman's Parkland, a currently-shooting drama about the killing of President John F. Kennedy on 11.22.63, will not strictly focus on the activities at Dallas's Parkland hospital (which the title obviousiy implies) but will involve various locales and perspectives. But then I was sent a draft of Landesman's script. I finished it last night, and I have to say it's a sturdy, convincing, well-structured effort.
There's no telling how the film itself will turn out. There are probably 50 ways Landesman can screw things up and he's a genius if he can think of 35 of them, but I know authentic-sounding dialogue and good screenwriting architecture and when scenes run just the right length, and there's no question that on paper at least Parkland is a taut, gripping recreation of a dark and horrific day. It smells like reality.
Dark and Horrific Day is a more truthful title than Parkland as Landesman's script follows four story lines with four separate clusters of characters in a host of Dallas locations. (The film has been lensing in Austin but will go to Dallas for some pickups, or so I've read.)
Roughly half of the script deals with the Parkland gang including Dr. Jim Carrico (Zac Efron), Dr. Malcolm Perry (Colin Hanks), Dr. Jerry Gustaffson and Nurse Doris Mae Nelson (Marcia Gay Harden), who attended to the mortally wounded JFK as well as his assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, on 11.24. Another Parkland character is Father Huber (Jackie Earl Haley), who administered last rights to the President.
The other half is split between three groups. About 25% or 30% focuses on Abraham Zapruder (Paul Giamatti), the guy who took the famous 8mm color footage of JFK's murder, and all the people who dealt with him that day -- a couple of film processing guys, Dallas Morning News editor Harry McCormick, FBI agent Forrest Sorrels (Billy Bob Thornton), Life editor Richard Stolley. Maybe 15% deals with Lee Oswald (Jeremy Strong), his older brother Robert (James Badge Dale) and their loony-tune mother, Marguerite Oswald (Jacki Weaver). And 5% or 10% focuses on two FBI agents -- Gordon Shanklin and James Hosty (Ron Livingston) -- who destroyed letters and other paper documents concerning Oswald and his wife Marina.
Largely based on Vincent Bugliosi's "Reclaiming History," Parkland is definitely an "Oswald acted alone" movie.
If you agree with Howard Hawks' definition of a good film containing "three great scenes and no bad ones," then Parkland will be a good film because it has several very...well, perhaps not necessarily "great" but very strong scenes.
A strong scene is a back-and-forth that makes you sit up in your seat and go "wow, that was something" or "whoa, intense stuff." It's a moment that you know you'll remember. There are at least three such scenes at Parkland hospital (Carrico and Perry's attempts to save Kennedy's life inside trauma room #1, angry FBI and Secret Service guys removing JFK's casket in defiance of Dallas police officials wanting to perform an autopsy, Oswald being wheeled into Parkland and reactions of staffers), at least two or three scenes with Zapruder, two exchanges at Dallas police headquarters involving Robert Oswald (one with Lee, another with a police officer), a scene acquainting us with Marguerite Oswald's dementia, a making-room-for-the-casket scene on Air Force One, and a burial-of-Oswald scene at the very end. What is that, ten?
Some of the descriptions of JFK's wounds and certain procedures followed in the trauma room indicate that Parkland will be fairly bloody and graphic here and there. Not for the squeamish unless, of course, editing intercedes.
Parkland will come out sometime around the 50th anniversary of JFK's murder.
