Looks like Spotlight round two is on the way, except this time, that light is shining on the Hollywood sign. According to The New York Times, an untitled film from Annapurna Pictures and Plan B will focus on The NYT’s Pulitzer-winning coverage of the Harvey Weinstein scandal that started a cultural movement.
In October of last year, NYT investigative reporters Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey published an article revealing decades of sexual assault allegations against Weinstein, which was soon followed by another damning article, this one written by Ronan Farrow for The New Yorker. These articles, which earned Pulitzers for the writers, started a global movement that would not only expose Hollywood predators, but also expose sexual misconduct perpetrated by people across industries.
