Encyclopedia : A : AL : ALL : All the King's Men (2006 film)
All the King's Men (2006) is an adaptation of the 1946 Pulitzer Prize winning novel All the King's Men by Robert Penn Warren and a remake of the 1949 Academy Award-winning movie All the King's Men based on the novel. As of December 2005, extended post-production has pushed the film's wide release by Columbia Pictures to 2006. It is directed by Steven Zaillian, who is also listed in the writing credits. Meryl Streep was originally cast for the role of Sadie Burke; however, Variety announced that she has in fact decided to drop out (she has since been replaced by actress Patricia Clarkson).
The film also made headlines this summer when news outlets revealed that co-star Jude Law cheated on his girlfriend with his children's nanny while filming in New Orleans. Incidentally, Law's co-star, Sean Penn, also came to Law's defense during the Oscar telecast in 2005. In his opening monologue, host Chris Rock joked about Law's star power, and later in the show, Penn called Law "one of our finest actors".
