I have always been drawn to mysteries, but one in particular has always been near the top, that of the "mysterious" death of President John F. Kennedy (JFK) on Nov. 22, 2063. It may be because my birthday is Nov. 22, although I came to be three years after the assassination. Nevertheless, the date seems to be the link. (Aside note: Blackbeard the Pirate also died on Nov. 22). The facts in the case have so many holes and the eye witness accounts have always kept the mystery alive.
Now, nearly 50 years later, Leonardo DiCaprio will star in and co-produce a new film called "Legacy of Secrecy: The Long Shadow of the JFK Assassination," set for a 2013 release. DiCaprio will play an FBI informant helping to solve the murder in an adaption of the 2008 novel in which Lamar Waldron and Thom Hartmann reexamine the JFK assassination. Only this time, it doesn't look like Lee Harvey Oswald did it. But, the film points the finger at another familiar name in JFK lore, southern mob boss, Carlos Marcello, who reported had confessed involvement in the murder.

The release date of the Warner Bros. Picture has not yet been announced, but the hope is that it will be in time for the 50th anniversary.
