Tribeca Film Festival, is about a man who shaped the historical stories of the recent past: news anchor Dan Rather. “I like telling stories about ordinary people in extraordinary situations,” Marshall told TheWrap. “It’s so interesting to see how these people who are inspired and then passionate about what they want to do, how they achieve that success.” In this case, Marshall wanted to track Rather’s 60-year career in news and how he’s become just as embraced by the TikTok generation as he was when he did “60 Minutes.”“I go in completely open-minded,” Marshall said when discussing whether he approached Rather’s story with any preconceived notions.
In a way, Marshall and Rather had a lot in common, which only fueled the intrigue. “We shared a lot of stories about being in Texas together,” Marshall said. “He’s from Texas and he got his first break in Texas.
I got my first break in Texas on ‘The Last Picture Show.’ What is that first break? And when you are given the ball?”This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity. What surprised you most to learn about Dan Rather?Frank Marshall: His sense of humor. I knew we had Rather-isms but he’s a really funny guy.
He’s very straight so he has this dry sense of humor. I love talking with him. And we laughed a lot.How do you look at news now compared to when Rather was working?It’s important to look at history, and to look at where all of this news came from.

Dan Rather isn’t often rendered speechless. The TV news icon is always quick with a quip or a turn of phrase. There’s even a word for them: “Ratherisms.” Anyone who ever watched the anchor during a live news event knows them well; things like, “This race is tight — like a too-small bathing suit on a too-long ride home from the beach.” But on this mild March afternoon in Austin, Texas, Rather is rather tongue-tied. The producers and director behind the upcoming documentary “Rather” have just screened the completed film for the former anchor and his family and friends. Turns out it’s not easy to articulate what it’s like to witness the span and scope of your life’s work on the big screen.
