Producer Darren Aronofsky was still mulling what direction to take the material when he saw director Pablo Larraín's movie Il club (2015), a riveting drama set in a secret retirement home for troubled Catholic Priests. It felt like fate. Larraín's distinctively energetic filmmaking style and deft ability to swirl character, emotion, and political insight into an affecting narrative seemed like a great match for screenwriter Noah Oppenheim's probing of Jacqueline Kennedy, after the assassination of her husband President John F. Kennedy. "Il club (2015) was just a very impressive film. It was extremely moving, yet it took you into a different world, and introduced you to characters you never expected to empathize with", Aronofsky explained. "After seeing it, I was convinced Pablo could probably do anything."
