New Hamilton biopic to feature Larry Flynt, Rupert Murdoch, Justice Scalia

Founding Father Alexander Hamilton has jumped out of the history books and into the present, courtesy of a new documentary by director-producer Michael Pack and writer-host Richard Brookhiser.

Set to air next Monday on PBS, “Rediscovering Alexander Hamilton” will feature interviews with characters ranging from Hustler founder Larry Flynt to Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

In addition to rescuing the fledgling new republic from a debt crisis as Treasury secretary, Hamilton confessed to the nation’s first sex scandal, involving the married Maria Reynolds, who blackmailed him.

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch will also weigh in on Hamilton, who founded the original New York Post.

Tune in at 10 p.m. Monday.
