There should be a movie made about the Sandusky scandal and the tragedy of Joe Paterno.
Somehow, I doubt Brian DePalma - who directing style is about as subtle as the Mummers Parade - is the man to make it. Remember what he did to one of the great American novels of the 20th Century? It wasn't pretty.
Al Pacino hasn't made a decent movie since Donnie Brasco.
But if anyone can discredit the narrative that Joe Paterno was responsible for Jerry Sandusky, it's DePalma, simply by taking the idea seriously and ridiculously over the top.
Unless, that is, he takes the idea seriously and ridiculously over the top and changes the facts to try to establish that Paterno knew from the beginning that Sandusky was a child predator...
