So it seems that Jonah Hill will be playing Richard Jewell and Leonardo DiCaprio his attorney in an upcoming movie about the Olympics bombing.
The film will be based on this Vanity Fair article, http://www.vanityfair.com/magazine/archive/1997/02/brenner199702
It was written by Marie Brenner and a genuinely good read. Dave Kindred made a brief appearance and it was one I suspect he'd like to forget.
I had forgotten many of the details of the story. The FBI decided one day to wreck this guy's life all because Louis Freeh thought they should.
The story is also a primer on how great journalists perform terrible journalism.
On side note, I watched the Summer Olympics at my mom's because, like Jewell, I was a loser living at home and trying to figure out my life as I was thinking about a career in law enforcement.
And I remember watching the live feed coverage on her big satellite dish on the farm and it was amazing to see. They'd go to break and Karl Ravech would hop up from the desk, shorts on, with a suit coat and tie, and smoking cigarettes one after another before they came back from the commercials.
