This was inevitable. Hollywood loves making movies about, well, itself. Especially its triumphs that spark a massive cultural change. And so the film She Said, which centers on New York Times journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey who exposed the sexual allegations against Harvey Weinstein, arrives right on time to make an impact on the awards season.
Starring Oscar-nominee Carey Mulligan and The Big Sick‘s Zoe Kazan as Kantor and Twohey as they pursue one of the most important news stories in generations. Their exposing of Weinstein destroyed the decades-old veil of silence around sexual assault in Hollywood, sparking the #MeToo movement.
The film is directed by Maria Schrader, Emmy-winning director of Netflix miniseries Unorthodox. Rebecca Lenkiewicz, an Oscar winner for Ida, wrote the script based on Kantor and Twohey’s book. Patricia Clarkson, Andre Braugher, Samantha Morton, Tom Pelphrey, and Adam Shapiro co-star, with Brad Pitt among the producers.
She Said opens in theaters on November 18th.
Two-time Academy Award® nominee Carey Mulligan (Promising Young Woman, An Education) and Zoe Kazan (The Plot Against America limited series, The Big Sick) star as New York Times reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor, who together broke one of the most important stories in a generation— a story that helped propel the #Metoo movement, shattered decades of silence around the subject of sexual assault in Hollywood and altered American culture forever.
