“Zodiac’s” John Carroll Lynch is preparing to play another monster, as he’s set to play Jerry Sandusky opposite Al Pacino in Brian De Palma’s Joe Paterno movie “Happy Valley,” multiple individuals familiar with the project have told TheWrap.
Pacino will star as Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, whose legend took a major hit when it was revealed that he knew former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky was molesting children and did little to stop it in order to protect the reputation of his prized pigskin program.
Sandusky was discovered with a child in the locker room showers by a future assistant coach.
