NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - The Weinstein Co. has bought all domestic rights to Emilio Estevez's ensemble drama "Bobby," which is set against the 1968 assassination of presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy.

Estevez wrote, directed and appears in the film, which details how the killing affected the lives of people in the Los Angeles hotel where it occurred, the Ambassador.

"It's an enormous canvas," Estevez said. "The Ambassador Hotel serves as a microcosm for everything happening in the world at that time, (including) racial tension and social upheaval."

Anthony Hopkins stars as the hotel's retired but ever-present doorman.

Lindsay Lohan and Elijah Wood appear as a couple who get engaged so that Wood's character can avoid being sent to the front lines in the Vietnam War, an arrangement made by his Vietnam vet brother and her boyfriend ( Kip Pardue).

Estevez and former fiancee Demi Moore play romantically linked down-and-out entertainers.

Sharon Stone plays a beautician married to the hotel's manager ( William H. Macy), who works alongside a chef ( Laurence Fishburne), busboy ( Freddy Rodriguez), phone operators ( Heather Graham and Joy Bryant) and a food and beverage manager ( Christian Slater).

Helen Hunt and Martin Sheen, Estevez' father, portray married socialites staying at the hotel.

Joshua Jackson plays a Kennedy volunteer, and Harry Belafonte rounds out the star ensemble as the ex-doorman's retired friend.

The film is in postproduction ahead of a scheduled fall release.
