Sony Pictures Classics is giving an Oct. 16 awards-season release to the Cate Blanchett- Robert Redford drama ?Truth,? centered on the Dan Rather scandal. The film will launch in New York and Los Angeles with a nationwide expansion to follow. The film is James Vanderbilt?s directorial debut and also stars Topher Grace, Elisabeth Moss and Dennis Quaid. The film is based on the Mary Mapes book ?Truth and Duty.? Blanchett plays Mapes, a CBS News Journalist and Rather?s producer. The film chronicles Mapes and Rather uncovering allegations that George W. Bush may have been AWOL from the U.S. National Guard for over a year during the Vietnam War. Four documents were presented as authentic in a ?60 Minutes broadcast? aired by CBS on Sept. 8, 2004, less than two months before the 2004 election, but it was later found that CBS had failed to authenticate the documents. The ensuing scandal ruined Rather?s career and caused profound changes at CBS News.
