Al Pacino will play Joe Paterno in a movie about the late Penn State football coach.
Brian De Palma will direct the film with the working title, “Happy Valley.” It will be based on Joe Posnanski’s best-seller “Paterno.” No start or release dates were given for the film.
Paterno passed away in January 2012.

Ah, Hollywood. First to make a profit on current events. Shame, Shame, Shame. I haven't been to a Hollywood movie in more than ten years, and I do not plan to attend a movie in the near future. Again, shame on Hollywood for an attempt to profit from another's misfortune!
