The trailer for Richard Jewell is here!

The film, which is directed by Clint Eastwood and based on true events, tells the story of what happens when what is reported as fact obscures the truth.

Here’s a plot summary: Richard Jewell is the security guard who reports finding the device at the 1996 Atlanta bombing—his report making him a hero whose swift actions save countless lives. But within days, the law enforcement wannabe becomes the FBI’s number one suspect, vilified by press and public alike, his life ripped apart. Reaching out to independent, anti-establishment attorney Watson Bryant, Jewell staunchly professes his innocence. But Bryant finds he is out of his depth as he fights the combined powers of the FBI, GBI and APD to clear his client’s name,while keeping Richard from trusting the very people trying to destroy him.

Sam Rockwell, Kathy Bates, Jon Hamm, Olivia Wilde and Paul Walter Hauser star in the movie.

The film will be in theaters on December 13. Watch the trailer inside…

Olivia Wilde and Jon Hamm have joined the cast of Clint Eastwood’s upcoming film Richard Jewell!

The duo are set to star in the film, which is based on a Vanity Fair article chronicling the life of Richard Jewell after he became a suspect for the pipe-bombing at Centennial Park during the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

Richard, a real-life security guard, had his life turned upside down after law enforcement leaked to an overzealous reporter that he was a possible suspect.

According to Variety, Olivia will play reporter Kathy Scruggs, who covered the event, and Jon will play an FBI agent investigating the bombing.

The cast already includes Paul Walter Hauser, Sam Rockwell and Kathy Bates.

Sam Rockwell is joining forces with Clint Eastwood in his upcoming film The Ballad of Richard Jewell!

The 50-year-old Fosse/Verdon actor is in final negotiations to star in the 89-year-old director and producer’s drama, Variety reports.

The Ballad of Richard Jewell is inspired by “the real-life security guard whose world was turned upside down after law enforcement leaked to an overzealous reporter at the Atlanta Journal Constitution that Jewell was a possible suspect for the pipe-bombing at Centennial Park during the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. From that moment on, Jewell went from a hero, who first discovered the suspicious abandoned backpack and saved hundreds of lives, to one of the most hated men in America.”

Sam will play “the attorney who defends Jewell after he is wrongly accused.” The role of Jewell has not been cast yet.

Jonah Hill and Leonardo DiCaprio were originally attached to star (Leonardo in Sam Rockwell‘s role), but they will reportedly now produce and not star.
