Arts, Briefly: Frost/Nixon Film to Open Festival

The movie version of “Frost/Nixon,” the acclaimed play by Peter Morgan, will open the London Film Festival in October, BBC News reported. The movie, directed by Ron Howard, reconstructs interviews between former President Richard Nixon, played by Frank Langella, and the British journalist David Frost, played by Michael Sheen, that were shown on television in 1977. Both actors are reprising their stage roles for the film. The annual film festival, now in its 52nd year, runs from Oct. 15 through Oct. 30. The movie also stars Kevin Bacon, Oliver Platt and Sam Rockwell. The play, which opened in London in 2006, later came to Broadway and earned three Tony nominations in 2007.
