Streep and Hoffman have 'Doubt'

Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman have been cast in a new drama about paedophilia in a Catholic School.

Apr 20 2007

Thespian heavyweights Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman are to go head-to-head in a new film about child abuse entitled 'Doubt'.

Based on John Patrick Shanley's Pulitzer Prize-winning play, the story is set in a Bronx Catholic School in 1964 and revolves around a nun, played by Streep, making accusations of paedophilia against Hoffman's priest.

Shanley will write and direct the film, which is set to shoot in New York this December.
