Actors Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan are reportedly in talks to star in She Said, a film based on The New York Times' investigation of the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment scandal. As per reports, Mulligan and Kazan will be playing Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor, the writers of the book She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement.

In development at Universal Pictures, She Said chronicles Twohey and Kantor's pursuit to unravel the sexual harassment and assault allegations levied against Weinstein over the past two decades.
