Ed Rollins opens up about Lee

Posted: Jan 16 Category: Sneak Previews |

An hour before my interview with Ed Rollins, a bunch of jackhammers fired up outside the window. Typical. I had to frantically hustle all the gear to a midtown hotel room and jam the two beds upright, leaving barely enough room to shoot. I’d been looking forward to this interview although I knew it would dredge up some painful memories for Ed.

In that room, darkened like a confessional, Ed gave a moving interview about his friendship with Lee, their brutal falling-out, and deathbed reconciliation. Here’s a brief taste from the rough cut of BOOGIE MAN.You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video

    Lee Atwater looks like a very complex individual, looking forward to seeing the movie! And, I can’t believe Ed Rollins is now running a baptist minister’s campaign. How is that going to go over in South Carolina?

    This looks like a very provocative documentary. I cannot wait to see it.

    I hope the producers’ due diligence is equal to that of John Brady when researching “Bad Boy.”

    JT, that book Bad Boy was full of inaccuracies and distortions about Lee Atwater. Plus, it was boring! I am waiting to see if these old boys can do better. At least they have a producer from Memphis who must know something about the South and doesn’t fall for the often-regurgitated MSM storylines about Atwater.
