Seth Rogen was previously attached to star as the legendary anchor.

Chris Pine is attached to play legendary CBS news anchor Walter Cronkite in the drama Newsflash.

The movie, written by Ben Jacoby, recounts the events of Nov. 22, 1963, as television news stations raced to report the facts of President John F. Kennedy's assassination in Dallas. Cronkite's producer Don Hewitt, boss Jim Aubrey and young co-worker Dan Rather are also characters in the pic.

Greg Silverman will produce via his Stampede banner, along with Adam Kolbrenner.

Seth Rogen was previously attached to play Cronkite in a 2017 version of the project, which had David Gordon Green attached to helm. 

This seems like kind of a hot mess.

Seth Rogan? Really? Was Gilbert Gottfried not available?

Wtf.  And playing JFK: Sam Jackson.

Chris Pine is a fine actor, but this calls for Chest Rockwell.

Paging Woody Harrelson.

Too thin. Walter had girth and gravitas. He'd be a great David Brinkley.
