I remember the morning he was shot

Okay, so his daddy plays The Pres on a pretty successful TV show. But just how did Emilio settle on the subject matter of his Robert Kennedy biopic Bobby? Well, after seeing his buddy Roger Avary base bloody siege-flick Killing Zoe in one principal location (a Parisian bank), Estevez decided to do the same. Now all he needed was a place… a story… and a script.

“In 2000, I found myself at the Ambassador Hotel and I remember calling Roger going, ‘I think I found it. I'm not sure what the story is, but I think it's going to be about the day Bobby Kennedy was shot,’” explains Estevez. “I started to do the research and started writing. I finished it about a week before 9/11.”
