The interviews took place in 1977 and eventually culminated with Nixon's implied admission of guilt with regards to his part in the Watergate scandal. Frank Langella is playing Nixon, while Michael Sheen (The Queen) will portray Frost. Both men originated their roles on Broadway. Rockwell will play journalist James Reston Jr., Jones is playing Hollywood producer Swifty Lazar and Macfadyen plays British journalist John Burt.
