Description:Al Pacino has joined HBO's Joe Paterno biopic, playing one of the most decorated coaches in American football history, Joe Paterno, who coached Pennsylvania State University for 46 years. The film focuses on the late stages of Paterno's career. "In 2011, he was involved in a sex scandal involving his assistant Jerry Sandusky molesting a boy. Paterno's legendary coaching experience was challenged, and he had to face various institutional problems from the perspective of a victim." In reality, Paterno was believed to have shielded an assistant coach, and he and the school principal lost their jobs, and some of their career honors were stripped away. The biopic will be directed by Barry Levinson, the director of "Rain Man." This is another collaboration between him and Pacino, as the two previously worked together on "Phil Spector" and "Doctor Death," both of which were also HBO investments.
