She Said is an upcoming American drama film directed by Maria Schrader. It is based on the 2019 book of the same name by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, journalists from The New York Times who exposed Harvey Weinstein's history of abuse and sexual misconduct against women. It stars Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan as Twohey and Kantor, respectively.

The film is scheduled to be released in the United States on November 18, 2022, by Universal Pictures.

Premise

The film depicts the work done by journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey to break the story of Harvey Weinstein's sexual misconduct allegations.

Cast

Production

The film depicts the investigative work of Pulitzer Prize–winning journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey.

On October 5, 2017, Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey from The New York Times revealed substantial allegations of sexual misconduct by Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, accusing him of three decades of sexually harassing actresses, female production assistants, temps, and other employees who worked at Miramax and The Weinstein Company.[1] The allegations served as a catalyst for the burgeoning #MeToo movement and eventually resulted in Weinstein being sentenced to 23 years of imprisonment.[2]

In 2019, Kantor and Twohey published She Said, a book detailing the different processes they employed to investigate and uncover Weinstein's sexual misconduct. The rights to the book were optioned in 2018 by Annapurna Pictures and Plan B Entertainment. In June 2021, Universal Pictures announced they were developing an adaptation with Zoe Kazan and Carey Mulligan in negotiations to star as Kantor and Twohey. It was also reported Maria Schrader was attached to direct from a screenplay written by Rebecca Lenkiewicz, with Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, and Jeremy Kleiner set to produce.[3] In July 2021, filming began in New York City with cinematographer Natasha Braier.[4][5] By August, Patricia Clarkson,[6] Andre Braugher,[7] Samantha Morton,[8] and Tom Pelphrey were announced as part of the cast.[9] Adam Shapiro was confirmed to star in October 2021.[10]

Release

The film is scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States on November 18, 2022.[11]
