post film Q&A with
George Freeman
Steven Spielberg directs Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks in The Post, a
thrilling drama about the unlikely partnership between The Washington
Post’s Katharine Graham (Streep), the first female publisher of a major
American newspaper, and editor Ben Bradlee (Hanks), as they race to
catch up with The New York Times to expose a massive cover-up of
government secrets that spanned three decades and four U.S. Presidents.
The two must overcome their differences as they risk their careers – and
their very freedom – to help bring long-buried truths to light. The
Post marks the first time Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg
have collaborated on a project. In addition to directing, Spielberg
produces along with Amy Pascal and Kristie Macosko Krieger. The script
was written by Liz Hannah and Josh Singer, and the film features an
acclaimed ensemble cast including Alison Brie, Carrie Coon, David Cross,
Bruce Greenwood, Tracy Letts, Bob Odenkirk, Sarah Paulson, Jesse
Plemons, Matthew Rhys, Michael Stuhlbarg, Bradley Whitford and Zach
Woods.
