Matt Damon In Court For Sex Abuse

Matt Damon is on the casting wish list for Thomas McCarthy’s untitled Catholic Church’s sex abuse scandal film. The story is based in the Boston Globe’s Pulitzer Prize winning articles that report the cover-up of sexual abuse within the Boston Catholic Church and the attempts to hide it.

If Damon chooses to star in the film, we would play the lead reporter Mike Rezendes, who investigated and first published the story.

According to The Wrap McCarthy’s film will follow “a year-long investigation by the Boston Globe’s spotlight team, which interviewed victims and reviewed thousands of pages of documents. Their reporting eventually led to the resignation of Cardinal Bernard Law, who hid years of serial abuse by other priests, and opened the floodgates to other disturbing revelations around the world.”

Very similar to All the President’s Men, starring Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman, aka Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, who through Deep Throat (the alias of the informant not the porn film)uncovered the Watergate scandal
