RICHARD JEWELL - An American Tragedy

-----------------

-----------------

Directed by Clint Eastwood and based on true events, “Richard Jewell” is a story of what happens when what is reported as fact obscures the truth.

“There is a bomb in Centennial Park. You have thirty minutes.” The world is first introduced to Richard Jewell as the security guard who reports finding the device at the 1996 Atlanta bombing—his report making him a hero whose swift actions save countless lives. But within days, the law enforcement wannabe becomes the FBI’s number one suspect, vilified by press and public alike, his life ripped apart. Reaching out to independent, anti-establishment attorney Watson Bryant, Jewell staunchly professes his innocence. But Bryant finds he is out of his depth as he fights the combined powers of the FBI, GBI and APD to clear his client’s name, while keeping Richard from trusting the very people trying to destroy him.

The film stars Oscar winners Sam Rockwell (“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”) as Watson Bryant and Kathy Bates (“Misery,” TV’s “American Horror Story”) as Richard’s mom, Bobi; Jon Hamm (“Baby Driver”) as the lead FBI investigator; Olivia Wilde (“Life Itself”) as Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Kathy Scruggs; and Paul Walter Hauser (“I, Tonya”) stars as Richard Jewell.

Oscar winner Eastwood directed from a screenplay by Oscar nominee Billy Ray (“Captain Phillips”), based on the Vanity Fair article “American Nightmare—The Ballad of Richard Jewell” by Marie Brenner. Eastwood also produced under his Malpaso banner, alongside Tim Moore, Jessica Meier, Kevin Misher, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Davisson and Jonah Hill.

Eastwood’s creative team includes director of photography Yves Bélanger and production designer Kevin Ishioka, along with longtime costume designer Deborah Hopper and Oscar-winning editor Joel Cox (“Unforgiven”), who have worked with Eastwood throughout the years on numerous projects. The music is by Arturo Sandoval, who scored 2018’s “The Mule.”

Warner Bros. Pictures Presents a Malpaso Production, an Appian Way/Misher Films/75 Year Plan Production, “Richard Jewell.” The film will be in theaters on December 13, 2019 and will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.

This is going to be one of the more underrated films of 2019.

A movie calling out the media? Count me in.

[Ryan-vimz]

I was outside of the park when they filmed this in Atlanta about a few months ago. It was so cool! Can’t wait to watch... and cry probably

[nicorybinski]

This movie looks like it’s going to be really good

[Hikerman-ubwy]

Clint is the best and dam if there’s anyone that makes movies about people who’s lives been destroyed by others, it’s you.

The important lesson about this isn't that Media and Government lie. Yes, they do, and this movie won't change that. The lesson to learn is, that when they lie, the public believes them. You and I need to learn not to blindly believe what we're told, but to check it out and see if we're being told the truth or not.

BTW this isn't a Liberal vs. Conservative problem. This is a people problem. As soon as you decide that you can always believe your favorite news outlet, whether that's CNN or FOX or anyone else, you take the role of Sheep, and you _will_ be fooled into believing things that aren't true.

"Government and media". And none of them are held accountable for anything they do wrong when they ruin lives.

I m from India just saw the trailer of this a month and a half ago immediately saw the history about the incident feel really really really sorry for the man who found out there was a bomb planted and he saved thousands of lives suspecting him as a terrorist without any clue truth needs to come out!!!! People needs to know
Saw his mom in this clip Ms Bobi Jewel I feel sorry what tough times she had to go through.
RIP Richard Jewel

If this doesn't win Best Picture, there's another American tragedy!!
The media needs to be held to account for so much!! . . . Even today!!!!

[billyjoenarra]

Damn Clint Eastwood still kickin' it, WB must really loved this guy.

[heshmiabennett]

If you have ever been treated wrong badly, you will cry watching Richard Jewel.

[jawanlovesdnd]

If he was the bomber y would he tell every one to leave

[Kris-nvzj]

So emotional of a movie, outstanding all around. The actor's portrayal of this heroic man was so strong. What a cast, wonderful movie to tell this story.

[omertacw]

Still breaks my heart what they did to that man, and people still listen to the media smh 😔

[Darkman]

The movie was great. They couldn’t have gotten a better one than Paul Walter Hauser to play the role of Richard Jewell. Just like Sam Rockwell for Watson Bryant. Both astounding.

[tamelamcghee]

I haven't paid much attention to the Oscars over the years, however this year is rather riveting. The great contenders: "Joker" ", "It's a Beautiful Day", and "Richard Jewell".

[thomaslawson]

Very good movie and very sad story. Richard Jewell is a hero
And he was a good officer.
R. I. P. Richard.
Be safe and blessed.

[Darkman]

Because the Media and the government still haven’t learned from the mistake they made about Richard Jewell, I think an organization should be formulated that can stand against their cultural biasism.

I’m thinking ACB: Against Cultural Biasism!

Who’s with me?

[thomaslawson]

Watson Bryant this was your finest hour. God bless you Richard.
