Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan Share Their Thoughts About Their Upcoming Film 'She Said' Following the Journalists Who Investigated the Harvey Weinstein Scandal
The first look at the upcoming film She Said, following the story of the journalists who investigated the Harvey Weinstein scandal, has been officially released at CinemaCon.
The sexual misconduct of Harvey Weinstein launched the important #MeToo movement - but behind the breaking of the scandal were two women who worked tirelessly to uncover it. Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey are the New York Times journalists who investigated this story, and therein revealed it to the world.
Their important journalistic triumph was captured for the world in a Pulitzer Prize winning book called She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement, written by the journalists themselves.
Now that book is being turned into a movie, and a secret first look at the film was unveiled at CinemaCon on Wednesay.
While the sneak peek is not yet available to the public at large, we do at least now know that the role of Jodi Kantor will be played by Zoe Kazan, and the part of Megan Twohey will be taken on by Carey Mulligan.
While speaking on stage at CinemaCon, Mulligan sung her praises for only for the film, but also for the meaningful work of the journalists.
"It caused a domino effect [hastening] the #MeToo movement for lasting change...It was an honor to portray these woman."
Enstarz will share more details about this upcoming film as they come to light.
