The True Story of Clint Eastwood’s ‘Richard Jewell’

Clint Eastwood’s forthcoming film “Richard Jewell” centers around the security guard who was wrongly suspected of setting off a bomb at the 1996 Olympic games in Atlanta. Richard Jewell spotted a suspicious backpack during a concert at Centennial Olympic Park and raised the alarm, helping to evacuate spectators. But as the area was being cleared, a nail bomb inside the backpack was triggered by a timer and exploded. One woman was killed and more than 100 people were injured. #InsideEdition

I love how Clint Eastwood makes movies on real life heroes

[@billmartin9519]

That makes Clint one of the best of them heroes

[@SUGAR_XYLER]

He's like the energizer bunny

[@billmartin9519]

@@SUGAR_XYLER my grandfather was employed by Mr Eastwood at a California ranch venture in the early 70s. According to my dad Mr. Eastwood did much of the same work he hired the cowboys for. He was a hard working guy who took the same risks as the others simply for the raw enjoyment of hard living. What a man he was and is.

[@tonymoretti2347]

Clint is one of the very very few sane people in Hollywood left

[@cyberpunkchloe9]

Beside this and American Sniper, did He make Other Movies about Real Life Super Heroes? I wanna know

[@tyleroliveira10]

He’s a true hero

[@ItsJimdevera]

when investigators couldnt solve a crime they will blame it on the first person who discovers the crime. it happened many times

Based on a true story movies always change stories from the original when the original story is usually more interesting.

[@angierichardson1701]

AJC is so concerned about how their female journalist was portrayed in the movie...what about the way she /they portrayed Richard in that wretched newspaper. Sorry, they get no sympathy from me.

[@ashyori9637]

Bruh why do people think that he started the bomb he is literally a guard.

[@diegoavila4379]

That's what they probably said about the terrorist of 911 they took classes in the US to learn how to fly a plane.No they flew a plane into the twin towers

[@allaansnackbar4269]

Human instinct is to “point first ask later”

[@tellurye]

Well, it actually is common for guards to plant stuff then "find" bombs making themselves heros. It is well known volunteer firefighters will start the very fires they fight. He did fit the profile, but so did every other security guard that day. Why they leaked only his name, have no idea.

[@davemckay4359]

I love movies

[@pennyfurr3216]

His former employer contacted the FBI and told them what Jewell had done in his previous job.

Rest in peace Mr. Jewell

Richard Jewell - American hero.

They should put a statue of him in the park.

I am a big fan of Clint Eastwood ever since I saw him in Rawhide in 1959.

Poor man, sickening how the press destroyed this man’s life.

Who else thinks this Kathy Scruggs looks exactly like Eric Forman's sister from That 70's Show....?

[@karlamena187]

I need to watch this movie ! it makes no sense why would you suspect the security guard ? When he’s the one trying to evacuate people ? Just prove that the media can destroy people‘s lives.

[@khaleesikimber7380]

I was only 14 and I completely forgot he was innocent . Again I was 14 and I can’t wait to see the movie . And I am sorry he died so young. 💔

[@johnmemoli1261]

Ironic that the editor of the rag NOW sees a problem with insinuating guilt without evidence.

[@underbird]

Amazing that the editor doesn’t see the hypocrisy in his criticism of the film. Can he not hear his own words?

[@rp7r54]

the editor is blind

[@glenbard657]

Excuse me if I don't feel sorry for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Among other things they falsely claimed that Jewell contacted them seeking publicity and Scruggs' falsely claimed the Jewell "had a sample of the blown-up bomb". They even had a columnist compare Jewell to serial killer Wayne Williams. Inside Edition neglected to mention that Scruggs died of a drug overdose. By the way, the movie is great. I've seen it twice.

[@pennyfurr3216]

Glen Bard Scruggs had a disease and had just gone through major surgery.

Seen almost the entire movie in a theatre. However something went wrong with the film projection and the movie stopped halfway thru.

[@JGHDVCFGT]

Glad they got Paul Blart to play Richard Jewell

[@yvonnewilson2242]

What cracks me up is the fact that Inside Edition, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC...Clint Eastwood is making a movie about YOU. Every last one of you have done and continue to do to people what that "journalist" did to Jewell. You guys can't see the irony in that, can you? 😏

[@anthonycampos8057]

Oh shut up

[@pennyfurr3216]

The case was dismissed because what Scruggs wrote was true.

[@not_solstaartz_0ne225]

The guy play Richard Jewell was on a episode of The Night Shift,A medical show on Netflix

Wasnt he in an mma show?
