Production
On October 5, 2017, Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey from 'The New York Times' revealed substantial allegations of sexual misconduct by Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, accusing him of three decades of sexually harassing actresses, female production assistants, temps, and other employees who worked at Miramax and The Weinstein Company. The allegations served as a catalyst for the burgeoning #MeToo movement and eventually resulted in Weinstein being sentenced to 23 years of imprisonment.
In 2019, Kantor and Twohey published 'She Said', a book detailing the different processes they employed to investigate and uncover Weinstein's sexual misconduct. The rights to the book were optioned in 2018 by Annapurna Pictures and Plan B Entertainment. In June 2021, Universal Pictures announced they were developing an adaptation with Zoe Kazan and Carey Mulligan in negotiations to star as Kantor and Twohey. It was also reported Maria Schrader was attached to direct from a screenplay written by Rebecca Lenkiewicz, with Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, and Jeremy Kleiner set to produce. In July 2021, filming began in New York City with cinematographer Natasha Braier. By August, Patricia Clarkson, Andre Braugher, Samantha Morton, and Tom Pelphrey were announced as part of the cast. Adam Shapiro was confirmed to star in October 2021.
In July 2022, Pitt's involvement in the film was reported on as he was made aware of Weinstein's behavior in 1996 by his then-girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow and later by his then-partner Angelina Jolie but continued to work with Weinstein after the fact.
In August 2022, Weinstein and his attorneys tried to delay his trial from its October 10, 2022 start date by claiming that the film's marketing and publicity would prejudice any Los Angeles jury against him; Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Lisa Lench denied the request.
Release
The film is scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States on November 18, 2022. It will premiere at the 60th New York Film Festival, and at the BFI London Film Festival on October 14, 2022.
