Al Pacino on the first poster of the biopic "Paterno".

Review by @vikfrei · 3032d · of Paterno

Published a debut poster of the biopic "Paterno" about the legendary football coach Joe Paterno, played by Al Pacino. The director of the tape was Barry Levinson.

The plot of the film was based on a book written by the author of the world-famous magazine Sports Illustrated Joe Posnanski. Joe Paterno trained football players at the University of Pennsylvania for 46 years, and as a result, athletes managed to set a record for the number of victories won. Paterno was fired in 2011 because of a sex scandal: the investigation managed to find out that he knew about the illegal actions of his assistant Jerry Sandusky, who seduced 15-year-olds in the shower rooms for ten years, but did not prevent it. So brilliant career Paterno ended in a painful fall from the height of success, and on the morning of January 22, 2012, the legendary coach passed away.
