Woody Harrelson is reaching across political divides — and into the realm of heavy prosthetics — to become the 36th President of the United States in a new trailer for the upcoming political biopic LBJ debuted exclusively on EW. The Rob Reiner-directed film charts Johnson's early years and subsequent rise to power as one of the country's most unexpected leaders, whose term began mere hours after the assassination of John F. Kennedy, under whom he served as vice president between 1961 and 1963.
