Is there really that much of a story to tell besides the Sandusky stuff?

DVinBR•81 months

Since it's al pacino, italian gang violence is guaranteed, can't wait to see this one

KiwiHead•81 months

I think Pacino can show the complexities of the man probably better than most actors. I've always thought that there was more to the whole Paterno/Sandusky thing then what was let out.

JustinT37•81 months

Yep, almost like Paterno was "put to sleep" to shut him up, instead of natural causes. I mean there was kids who came from broken homes getting molested in Penn State summer camps during the day, right in ur face!! A lot more to all of that than what is put out there by our law enforcement & media. *cover up*

Before all of this happened, I use to say if Paterno didn't die while still coaching, he would die soon after retirement, but I didn't expect it to be that soon. Things seemed to fall in line at the right times. A Penn St football coordinator molested kids and would bring them to Penn St's facility and do stuff to them in the show. Paterno is forced to retire. Evidence shows Paterno knew Sandusky was trying to play hide the pickle with teenage boys. Paterno has cancer. Oh he is dead..

If it's wrong to have a statue of Joe, why isn't it wrong to make a movie?

comalking•81 months

Penn State's not making the movie.

JayJay2•81 months

The skin is too tight.

BAMAneck•81 months

Should just start with Sandusky walking a child to the showers and Joe turning his back on him to gaze on his statue from his window ... cause to me , everything that happened before that is irrelevant .....

Skinny•81 months

I wanna see Alec Baldwin playing Pacino playing Paterno. And give me Danny Akyroyd as Sandusky.

Tidemeister•81 months

God help PSU fans if this movie ends up on par with the Bear Bryant movie which starred of all people Gary Busey as Coach Bryant.

BamaCoaster•81 months

Holy Christ. I just watched 8 minutes of that terrible movie.

oleheat•81 months

I understand Tony Cox has signed on for a cameo role as Nick Saban.....

RainKing96•81 months

Damn. He looks bad.

DirtyMikeandtheBoys•81 months

If this movie is not a 100% slam fest on his arse it will be a disgrace. The movie should focus on nothing but paternos pos character.

Placebeaux•81 months

Part 2 is Baylor and part 3 is going to be Bama.

C3W•81 months

I just hope it's more about his life and football and only touches briefly on the Sandusky thing. Like we get it, Sandusky sucks. Joe made a couple mistakes and ended up in too deep.

comalking•81 months

Couple of mistakes huh? Wonder if it would just be a "couple mistakes" if it was your boy and the man who knew everything going on did nothing.

OweO•81 months

You will be disappointed, I think the whole point of the movie is the Sandusky shite. Oh yeah, that little bitty mistake Joe made. He knew, a coach, who he employed to coach part of his team, was a phediphile and failed to act on it. Oppps. What a small mistake.

YellaPurp•81 months

Wow either Pacino has aged like hell or he's the best actor ever.

BayouBengals18•81 months

Have you not seen any movie since 1960?

OweO•81 months

I mean, he isn't as young as he was in The Godfather, but.. And I know this is a crazy concept, but they have ways to make people look older... or younger. or whatever.. when they are acting in a movie.

I am GLORIOUS•81 months

Pacino is the GOAT -- I wish this was a feature film and not just an HBO movie

cjared036•81 months

Hopefully he will do the "game of inches" speech at some point in the movie.
