Long before he went Through The Keyhole, TV presenter David Frost entered the realm of Richard Nixon, his post-Watergate interview with the former President making history. This event was dramatised for the stage by Peter Morgan (The Queen, The Last King Of Scotland), with Michael Sheen/Frank Langella playing Frost/Nixon respectively. It was a huge success, and Morgan has now adapted it for the screen, with the primary cast reprising their roles and Ron Howard directing.

"It was an amazing piece of television," says Howard on the film's LA set. "Plus, when you have a script from Peter Morgan and actors of such ability, it wasn't a hard decision to make. I just hope we can do the story justice."
