Michael Keaton and Mark Ruffalo Star in First ‘Spotlight’ Trailer
Posted On Aug 02 2015
For those that might not know where the name of the movie comes from, according to wikipedia “Spotlight” is the The Boston Globe’s team of investigative reporters, the same unit that uncovered the scandal.
Spotlight stars Mark Ruffalo, Michael Keaton, Rachel McAdams, Liev Schreiber, Brian D’Arcy James, John Slattery, and Stanley Tucci.
Don’t be surprised to see Oscar nominations.
Open Road Films has recently released its first trailer, which depicts an inquiry into the claims of the abuse victims, and comparing their stories with statements from a member of the religious infrastructure in question. “The West Wing” scribe Josh Singer co-wrote the film, which has already generated plenty of awards buzz. The reports ultimately led to the resignation of Cardinal Bernard Law in December of that year. Due to their work, people from all over the world learned about the sexual abuse of minors by Catholic clergy.
By now, stories of the Catholic Church and its cover up of crimes against children are commonplace, yet the movie Spotlight goes back to the difficulty in breaking the first big one. Spotlight has scored berths at both the Venice and Toronto Film Festivals and will arrive in US cinemas on November 6, but has yet to announce a UK release.
SPOTLIGHT tells the riveting true story of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Boston Globe investigation that would rock the city and cause a crisis in one of the world’s oldest and most trusted institutions.
This is a movie about organized crime, featuring the most gutless gangsters in history, the Catholic church, the largest organized child rape crime syndicate in the history of the US, and in BRUTAL defiance of Jesus in Matt 18:6-14.
The difference is that the Catholic crime syndicate doesn’t have the honor of the regular mafia, and has thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of protected pedophile priests in the US alone.
