The Conspirator

In the wake of Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, seven men and one woman are arrested and charged with
conspiring to kill the President, Vice-President, and Secretary of State. The lone woman charged, Mary Surratt, 42,
owns a boarding house where John Wilkes Booth and others met and planned the simultaneous attacks. Against the
ominous back-drop of post-Civil War Washington, newly-minted lawyer, Frederick Aiken, a 28-year-old Union war-hero,
reluctantly agrees to defend Surratt before a military tribunal. Aiken realizes his client may be innocent and that she is
being used as bait and hostage in order to capture the only conspirator to have escaped a massive manhunt: her own son.

I'm really excited about this movie too. It feels like a very important step in her career. She's definitely on the good path.

Next week she'll join the cast in Savannah so I hope we'll get some BTS pics of her.

Oh cool! Thanks for starting this Bia! I`m so happy that Alexis is making so many great films. Add me if you make a list.

I am so jealous of Alexis getting to play James' wife

**anettbianka** · 10-17-2009, 04:33 PM

I didn't plan on starting a list cuz I couldn't figure out where to put it in the OP.

Alexis and James together in one movie so much hotness

Peyton Scott · 10-18-2009, 11:16 AM

OK Bia I understand

That is so much hotness Emma!

VanessaLapierre · 10-18-2009, 11:47 AM

This movie looks really good, unfortunatly I dont think Alexis will be alot on it.
She deserve a more important role

serendipily · 10-18-2009, 12:26 PM

Alexis's part seems minor

But she, James, and Evan all in one place?

Peyton Scott · 10-18-2009, 01:11 PM

I didn`t know it was a small role!

**anettbianka** · 10-18-2009, 01:34 PM

Well, we don't know for sure but yeah, it definitely sounds like a supporting role and she'll probably only interact with James' character but this is just my speculation. I hope we'll find out more about the role soon.

Peyton Scott · 10-18-2009, 05:21 PM

Well you`re right Bia but from the looks of it it doesn`t seem like her role is big at all

**anettbianka** · 10-18-2009, 05:24 PM

She's added to the cast now on the movie's IMDB page. It's great to see her name between such talented actors.
