Investigative journalist Peter Landesman, an award-winning writer, was already at work on a feature script for Playtone about the Watergate scandal and the mysterious whistle-blower known as Deep Throat. Approaching him to develop a script inspired by Vincent Bugliosi's 2008 book "Four Days In November" just seemed to make sense to the movie's producers. Landesman embarked on a period of intensive research that revealed a complex, multifaceted story he believed needed to be told. Landesman said: "Some people think they know all about it. But they don't know the story we are about to tell. To experience this film is to experience the assassination for the first time through the eyes of the ordinary people who lived it, people we didn't even know existed, but who played important roles from front-row seats to a true American tragedy. Everyone who read the script had the same comment: 'I had no idea'." As Landesman began to condense his narrative, he found himself strongly drawn to one particular thread in the saga. He continued: "I looked at the script and asked myself what the engine of the story was. What had no one ever seen before? No one had ever seen what happened inside Parkland Hospital. With that, the rest fell into place." The writer very quickly came up with a draft that thrilled everyone at Playtone. Producer Gary Goetzman said: "It was visceral. It was tactile. It was ferocious. It was kinetic. It really moved on the page."
