Just when you think there can’t be another JFK assassination movie, along comes Parkland.

The upcoming Parkland is told from the point of view of the doctors, nurses, and staff of Parkland Hospital in Dallas where President Kennedy was treated and ultimately pronounced dead.

Zac Efron stars as the young surgeon, Jim Carricon, who first treated the President after he arrived at the hospital. Carricon stayed at Kennedy’s side until he was pronounced dead. Quite a bit of distance with this role from the rumored Star Wars 7Ben Skywalker role.

Parkland will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival before it’s release in theaters on September 20th.
