NBCUniversal is set to produce a film based on the New York Times reporters who broke the Harvey Weinstein scandal after NBC News was accused of spiking a story about the disgraced film mogul. Deadline reported on Monday that Universal Pictures was developing a big-screen adaptation of the book "She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement," written by Times reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor. The two Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists first publicized the startling sexual misconduct allegations against Weinstein in 2017. Farrow claimed NBC was being pressured by Weinstein, who was threatening to expose the sexual misconduct allegations against "Today" cohost Matt Lauer. Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan are in negotiations to star as the Times journalists.
