Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Now here's a movie that's going to warrant some serious attention! Premiering later this year at the Toronto International Film Festival (check out the list here), SPOTLIGHT tells the true story of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Boston Globe investigation into one of the world’s oldest and most trusted institutions. When the newspaper’s tenacious “Spotlight” team of reporters delve into allegations of abuse in the Catholic Church, their year-long investigation uncovers a decades-long cover-up at the highest levels of Boston's religious, legal, and government establishment. Check out one hell of an ensemble cast in the first trailer for SPOTLIGHT!

Starring Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams, Liev Schrieber, Stanley Tucci and Billy Crudup (among others), this is one film where you KNOW the cast is just going to kill it. Having recently visited Boston for the first time, I've also grown somewhat of an infatuation with seeing it portrayed in movies. Granted, I don't expect this movie to go all THE TOWN on us with action set-pieces, but the story looks just as compelling as the cast and the locales. We'll certainly let you know how the end product fares come this year's TIFF!

SPOTLIGHT will be released on November 2, 2015.
