we know exactly what happened - why do we need a movie to repeat it all? And I hope the Paterno family doesn't get a single penny from this movie, but I'm sure they are.

Al Pacino with Joe Pesci's voice would nail it

ctiger69•81 months

So this movie is about Joe Paterno knowing that his fellow coach is raping little boys at the football facilities? Who would watch this?

What a sad fall from Grace. Paterno is the for poster child for "sometimes doing nothing has consequences too".

The only redeeming thing about the whole pedophilia incident is it probably was what killed him when it all surfaced. Now if someone would break a mop handle off in Jerry the circle will be squared. Who the F thought doing a movie would be a good idea? I guess it's all in the name of tolerance now, but I can't tolerate that junk.

Does it show the part where he burns in Hell?

cjared036•81 months

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

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

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?

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 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.

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

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.

RainKing96•81 months

Damn. He looks bad.

oleheat•81 months

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

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.

Skinny•81 months

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

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 .....

JayJay2•81 months

The skin is too tight.

airfernando•81 months

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.

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*

OweO•81 months

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..
