All The King's Men Q&A

Q&A: Writer/Director/Producer Steven Zaillian & James Carville
Studio: Sony
Based on Robert Penn Warren's 1946 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, "All the King's Men" tells the story of an idealist's rise to power in the world of Louisiana politics, and the corruption that leads to his ultimate downfall. It is a complex saga of human nature, power, corruption, idealism, romance and betrayal. Using politics as a framework to delve into the more profound dilemmas of human existence — sin, guilt and redemption — it explores the nature of corruption in a way that is timely and relevant today. Warren's acclaimed exploration of morality was inspired by the career of Louisiana governor Huey P. Long and other political demagogues. Zaillian's stylized treatment captures the essence of Warren's novel, infusing it with classic noir elements.
