CONFIRMATION
Kerry Washington is set to lead as Anita Hill, with Wendell Pierce as Clarence Thomas. Jeffrey Wright and Allison Wright have also joined the top notch cast.
Stonestreet will play Ken Duberstein, the lobbyist/Washington insider who was assigned by then-President George Bush to secure Thomas’ appointment as Supreme Court Justice.
Wendell Pierce has been tapped to star in the HBO movie Confirmation. The project centers on the radical 1991 Supreme Court nomination hearings which forever altered the perception on sexual harassment, victims’ rights, and current racial relations.
Logline: A young boy and his estranged father spend some time together while the boy’s mother and her new husband go to a religious retreat. When things start to go wrong, the boy and father realize they have more in common than they thought.
