Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan to play the reporters who broke the Harvey Weinstein story
According to Deadline, Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan are going to star in She Said, the Spotlight/All The President’s Men-style adaptation of the book She Said: Breaking The Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite A Movement that was first announced back in 2018. The book was written by Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor, the two women who wrote the New York Times story about the sexual misconduct allegations against Harvey Weinstein that helped kick off his downfall and led to the eventual rise of the #MeToo movement. Deadline says the “thrust of the film” is not Weinstein himself, but rather the “all-women team of journalists who persevered through threats of litigation and intimidation” to tell this story. That being said, Weinstein will presumably appear as a character, and there’s no word on who might play him. (There’s also no word on who might play Ronan Farrow, who at least deserves a cameo in this thing for his own work to expose Weinstein.)
