In the last two days the Thomas McCarthy drama Spotlight has popped up as an entry at both Venice and Toronto’s film festivals and it’s not hard to see why. The first trailer for the film is jam-packed with award winning actors, has a Pulitzer Prize winning story that its based on and looks to be some redemption for McCarthy after the critical drubbing he received for a film that showed up at Toronto last year, The Cobbler starring Adam Sandler.
Spotlight focuses on the reporters at The Boston Globe that broke the case of molestation within the Catholic Church in a case that took a year to collect and spanned decades of cover-up at the highest levels of one of the most powerful organizations in the country.
Starring Oscar nominees Michael Keaton (Birdman), Mark Ruffallo (Foxcatcher) and Stanley Tucci (The Lovely Bones), Emmy nominees Liev Schreiber (Ray Donovan) and John Slattery (Mad Men), Rachel McAdams, Brian D’Arcy James and Billy Crudup, the film opens November 6th from Open Road Films.
