Director/Writer:John Patrick
Shanley
Producers: Scott Rudin (Revolutionary Road, Stop Loss, Margaret)

The Gist: Written by Shanley, this is based on the Off Broadway’s Manhattan Theater Club play. Set in 1964, “Doubt” centers on a nun who confronts a priest after suspecting him abusing a black student. He denies the charges, and much of the play’s quick-fire dialogue tackles themes of religion, morality and authority.
Fact: Shanley wrote “Moonstruck” and both wrote and directed “Joe Versus the Volcano”.
See It: Philip Seymour Hoffman, Meryl Streep and the very talented Amy Adams make up this powerhouse cast and all dressed up funny (priest and nuns!).
Release Date/Status?: Currently filming, Miramax have many “in-contention” possibilities this year and have pegged this with a December 5th release date.
