Plot Summary: John Patrick Shanley brings his Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning play to the screen as a gripping story about the quest for truth, the forces of change, and the devastating consequences of blind justice in an age defined by moral conviction.

It's 1964, St. Nicholas in the Bronx. A vibrant, charismatic priest, Father Flynn (Academy AwardŽ winner Philip Seymour Hoffman), is trying to upend the schools' strict customs, which have long been fiercely guarded by Sister Aloysius Beauvier (Academy AwardŽ winner Meryl Streep), the iron-gloved Principal who believes in the power of fear and discipline. The winds of political change are sweeping through the community, and indeed, the school has just accepted its first black student, Donald Miller. But when Sister James (Academy AwardŽ nominee Amy Adams), a hopeful innocent, shares with Sister Aloysius her guilt-inducing suspicion that Father Flynn is paying too much personal attention to Donald, Sister Aloysius sets off on a personal crusade to unearth the truth and to expunge Flynn from the school. Now, without a shard of proof besides her moral certainty, Sister Aloysius locks into a battle of wills with Father Flynn which threatens to tear apart the community with irrevocable consequence.

Academy AwardŽ winning screenwriter John Patrick Shanley ("Moonstruck") adapted his own play for the screen and directs "Doubt," starring Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams and Viola Davis. The film is produced by Scott Rudin and Mark Roybal, with Celia Costas as executive producer.

I knew that eventually they would make a movie like this. With as much as we’ve seen in the news, go figure. It mite be a good one and probably cause a stir.

Well, given that it was a tony-winning play just a few years ago, I'm not surprised that it is being made into a movie. Just wish Cherry Jones was playing Meryl's Role.

I saw this play on Broadway and it was a CORKER!
I don't know why this trailer appears to have blunted it.

This was written by the same man who took the Oscar for writing Moonstruck. So it should be a BLAST

I can't believe the disrespect for this movie, unbelievable, you don't have to believe in God and be a Catholic to enjoy a movie about a Church, what the heck is wrong with people on the internet, anyway? The lack of fresh air is getting to people's heads.

This looks like an amazing drama with some truly powerful acting roles and I for one, can't wait to check it out, Philip-Seymour Hoffman is a truly talented actor.
