New Movie About the Sex Abuse Scandal?

Hollywood! The town that’s afraid to make terrorist villains come from the Middle East is now making a movie about the Catholic Church’s sex abuse scandal. How brave.

Because you know, nobody’s heard or read anything about this subject so people will really be on the edge of their seats the entire movie to see if the brave newspapermen actually learn that the Church was covering up a sex abuse scandal.

I seriously ask, is Hollywood interested in actually making money anymore or just furthering an agenda?

Deadline reports:

The producers intend to frame the movie in the vein of All The President’s Men. One of the planned film’s hooks is that some of the journalists are themselves Catholic and were conflicted as they researched and wrote their stories. This journalism angle seems a fascinating way to approach the topic. And, interestingly, the Boston Globe investigative team was headed by Ben Bradlee, Jr., son of the legendary Washington Post editor who stood behind Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein when their Watergate reporting was assailed by Richard Nixon’s White House.

I wonder if the reporters will all decide that the celibacy requirement is at fault.

No word yet on whether Bill Maher or Sinead O’ Connor have been offered roles.
