HBO has acquired the worldwide rights to Hugh Jackman’s “Bad Education” out of the Toronto International Film Festival and is planning a 2020 release for it, an individual with knowledge of the deal told TheWrap.
“Bad Education” is about the biggest public school embezzlement scandal in American history. It also stars Allison Janney, Ray Romano, Alex Wolff and Geraldine Viswanathan, and was directed by Cory Finley (“Thoroughbreds”) based on a true story that happened to screenwriter Mike Makowsky (“I Think We’re Alone Now”).
