‘Newsflash’ Will See Chris Pine Play Sex Symbol Walter Cronkite
Posted on Friday, August 2nd, 2019 by Chris Evangelista
Chris Pine is going to slap on some thick-framed glasses and grow himself a mustache to play noted sex symbol Walter Cronkite in Newsflash, which focuses on the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Rather than push another JFK conspiracy theory, Newsflash chronicles Kennedy’s death through the lens of how it was covered by the TV news. Cronkite’s noticeable attempt to fight back tears when announcing Kennedy’s death live on air became a powerful image that still resonates to this day, and his coverage of the assassination made him one of the most trusted newsmen in America.
