VIDEO : Meryl Streep And Tom Hanks To Star In Spielberg's 'The Post'

Steven Spielberg is taking on "a piece of journalism history" with "The Post" and he's "assembling an Oscar-winning dream team" to do it, with Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep in talks to star in the leading roles. The film is about the 1971 release of the Pentagon Papers that the Washington Post decided to publish despite "a federal judge?s barring the New York Times from doing so." If cast, Streep would play Washington Post publisher Katharine Graham and Hanks would play the role of editor Ben Bradlee.
