ARTNEWSPRESS: Warner Bros. has released the first trailer for Clint Eastwood’s upcoming film, Richard Jewell, which tells the true story of the FBI’s number one suspect for the 1996 Atlanta bombing and shows what happens when what is reported as fact obscures the truth.
This looks like a great film that tells the powerful and intense story of a man whose life is ruined after being accused of something that he didn’t do. Here’s the synopsis for the film:
“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 movie stars Paul Walter Hauser (Cobra Kai) stars as Richard Jewell; Sam Rockwell (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) as Watson Bryant; Kathy Bates (Misery) as Richard’s mom, Bobi; Jon Hamm (Baby Driver) as the lead FBI investigator; and Olivia Wilde (Tron: Legacy) as Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Kathy Scruggs.
The movie will be released in theater on December 13th.
