SU alum’s movie shuts down
Syracuse University alumnus Aaron Sorkin’s next movie has been shut down due to “budgetary concerns.” THR reports Amblin Partners has pulled the plug on “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” which was in pre-production with a cast that includes Eddie Redmayne, Sacha Baron Cohen and Jonathan Majors. Filming was scheduled to begin in February after 10 years of development.
Amblin told THR in a statement that they’re still committed to the project with Sorkin directing, but it’s unclear when it will happen as he’s also working on a new version of “A Good Few Men.”
