She Said Trailer with Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan

Universal Pictures has released the official trailer for She Said, the drama opening in theaters on November 18, 2022. You can watch the trailer below.

Two-time Academy Award nominee Carey Mulligan (Promising Young Woman, An Education) and Zoe Kazan (The Plot Against America limited series, The Big Sick) star as New York Times reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor.

Twohey and Kantor together broke one of the most important stories in a generation— a story that helped propel the #Metoo movement, shattered decades of silence around the subject of sexual assault in Hollywood, and altered American culture forever.

From the Academy Award-winning producers of 12 Years a Slave, Moonlight, Minari, Selma and The Big Short and the Oscar-nominated producer of Zero Dark Thirty and American Hustle, the film is based on the New York Times bestseller She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement (See on Amazon).

She Said is directed by Emmy winner Maria Schrader (Unorthodox limited series) from a screenplay by Oscar winner Rebecca Lenkiewicz (Ida).

The film is produced by Academy Award winners Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, and Jeremy Kleiner for Plan B Entertainment and is executive produced by Oscar nominee Megan Ellison and Sue Naegle for Annapurna Pictures.

The book is officially described as follows: “From the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporters who broke the news of Harvey Weinstein’s sexual harassment and abuse for the New York Times, Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, the thrilling untold story of their investigation and its consequences for the #MeToo movement.

“On October 5, 2017, the New York Times published an article by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey – and then the world changed.

“For months, Kantor and Twohey had been having confidential discussions with top actresses, former Weinstein employees, and other sources, learning of disturbing long-buried allegations, some of which had been covered up by onerous legal settlements.

“The journalists meticulously picked their way through a web of decades-old secret payouts and nondisclosure agreements, pressed some of the most famous women in the world — and some unknown ones — to risk going on the record, and faced down Weinstein, his team of high-priced defenders, and even his private investigators.

“But nothing could have prepared them for what followed the publication of their Weinstein story. Within days, a veritable Pandora’s box of sexual harassment and abuse was opened, and women who had suffered in silence for generations began coming forward, trusting that the world would understand their stories.

“Over the next 12 months, hundreds of men from every walk of life and industry would be outed for mistreating their colleagues. But did too much change – or not enough? Those questions plunged the two journalists into a new phase of reporting and some of their most startling findings yet.

“With superlative detail, insight, and journalistic expertise, Kantor and Twohey take us for the first time into the very heart of this social shift, reliving in real time what it took to get the story and giving an up-close portrait of the forces that hindered and spurred change.

“They describe the surprising journeys of those who spoke up – for the sake of other women, for future generations, and for themselves – and so changed us all.”
