Exclusive Coverage of Frost/Nixon - A Potential Oscar Contender

Screenwriter Peter Morgan (The Queen, Last King of Scotland) had no intention of bringing his play, Frost/Nixon, to the big screen until he was approached by director Ron Howard. Howard saw Frank Langella and Michael Sheen perform on stage as President Nixon and David Frost, and knew immediately he wanted to direct a film version of Morgan's play. Now the film's hitting theaters to positive reviews and Langella's name is being frequently mentioned as a real contender for a Best Actor Oscar nomination.

At the film's Los Angeles premiere, Langella, Sheen, Howard and Morgan talked about making the transition to the screen and why the story's still relevant:
