Reminder: All The Way Premieres Tonight

HBO film’s adaptation of All The Way premiers tonight. Will you be watching?

HBO has been hyping All The Way for what feels like a long time at this point. For those that are ready to move on, that time if fast approaching. All The Way will premiere tonight on HBO, cleaning the way for something new to come along and eat up all that ad space and time. Hooray?

For those that haven’t been in the loop, All The Way stars Bryan Cranston as president Lyndon B. Johnson during the fight for civil rights. Cranston is reprising the role from the theater production of the same name, and has apparently done a little extra homework in order to fully embody LBJ.

Anthony Mackie stars as Martin Luther King Jr., which is a very different sort of role than what he usually plays in Marvel movies as ~~Captain America’s best~~ bud Falcon. Both actors have been on the late night circuit hyping the movie, and it is expected that All The Way will be getting some attention when award season comes around. The play, after all, was very well-received and pulled in several awards.

Early reviews for All The Way have been very positive, including this one from The Daily Beast. It would be surprising if that didn’t continue to be a trend.

All The Way was specifically retooled by the original playwright for HBO to add a more cinematic flair. For anyone interested in how Cranston transforms into LBJ, HBO has you covered. All The Way will premiere tonight, May 21st, at 8 PM eastern. After that, we can all move onto the next major move that HBO has in their pocket.
