Blackbird (D: Mamet; S: Blanchett)
Cate Blanchett will star in helmer-scribe David Mamet’s “Blackbird,” a present-day Hitchcockian nailbiter turning on a secret explanation for the 1963 assassination of U.S. president John F. Kennedy.
Blanchett plays Janet, who travels to Los Angeles for the funeral of her grandfather, a Hollywood visual effects artist who moonlighted for U.S. special ops agencies. Her grandfather’s well-kept secrets become a threat to her, forcing Janet to discover the truth about a man who dedicated his life to making illusion reality.
“Blackbird” is produced by Said Ben Said’s Paris-based SBS Prods.
SBS is handling worldwide sales. It will shoot in Sydney, part financed by Australian tax breaks, Ben Said said.

It was supposed to shoot in January 2014. Don't know if it did.
His Wiki page says that it is going to be released in 2015.
Mamet is usually (always?) a treat. I wouldn't expect this to be any different.
