The first-look picture of Al Pacino as Joe Paterno, the legendary Penn State football coach who’s the focus of HBO Films’ upcoming Barry Levinson-directed drama has been released. While the project remains untitled, it is currently in production. HBO stated,
“The film centers on Joe Paterno, who, after becoming the winningest coach in college football history, is embroiled in Penn State’s Jerry Sandusky sexual abuse scandal, challenging his legacy and forcing him to face questions of institutional failure regarding the victims,”
From the first look at Pacino as Paterno, it is certain that Pacino has the look of Paterno down and just from the one photo has caused excitement for the upcoming film.
