After others tried to get the film made for over five years, Clint Eastwood went ahead and shot his Richard Jewell film–simply titled Richard Jewell–about three months ago, and now it’s coming out to theaters in less than three months. Led by I, Tonya break-out star Paul Walter Hauser, the cast also includes Sam Rockwell, Kathy Bates, Jon Hamm, and Olivia Wilde, Warner Bros. has now debuted the first trailer.
Based on a 1997 Vanity Fair article by Marie Brenner (author of the source material for Michael Mann’s The Insider) and scripted by Billy Ray, it follows the public torment of Richard Jewell, a security guard working at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. He was initially lauded as a hero for discovering three pipe bombs on the premises, but then vilified by the media for being a potential suspect, despite a lack of evidence; Jewell was eventually cleared of all charges.
