The new trailer for Gosnell teases the horror story of a murderous abortionist and his trial including scenes of empty media seats in the courtroom. Its right. I know because I was there.
The trial of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell, in which witnesses described baby abortion survivors swimming" in toilets to get out, attracted a mere 12 15 reporters (many of whom, I noticed, were local). Only after 56 days did all three broadcast networks report on Gosnell. But the story is about to garner a new wave of attention with GVN Releasing opening the film, Gosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer, to as many as 750 theaters October 12.
On Tuesday, The Hollywood Reporter (THR) broke the news that filmmakers had released a trailer for the anticipated Gosnell film, which stars big name actors.
In the moving video, actor Michael Beachs character, district attorney Dan Molinari, warns those investigating Gosnell that, When you get to the courthouse, you are going to be swarmed by reporters.
But as they walk past empty rows of seats with signs reading This row reserved for press, actor Dean Cain, who plays a detective, asks, Where is everybody?
Among other things, Gosnell was convicted May 2013 of one count of involuntary manslaughter and the first-degree murder of three babies (while the Grand Jury report, THR has noted, alleges Gosnell killed hundreds of infants by sticking scissors into their necks).
But the film isnt just for pro-life audiences, as one scene in the trailer stresses.
Theres nothing that man did that protects women or children, actress Sarah Jane Morriss character, assistant district attorney Alexis Mcguire, says of Gosnell. And you dont have to be a pro-life activist to see that.
In addition to Gosnells trial, the filmmakers say they themselves faced challenges in the media as well as the legal system and Hollywood, for their upcoming movie revealing the story of Americas biggest serial killer.
In an exclusive statement to MRC Culture in June, producer Ann McElhinney stated that finally the Gosnell story will be exposed.
Most Americans have never heard the name Dr. Kermit Gosnell because the mainstream journalists chose not to cover the trail, she said, because the left don't want the truth about abortion to be known.
But the Hat Tip Films movie, produced by herself and husband Phelim McAleer, will do that and a lot more.
The movie is as much as exposé of the media as it is of abortion, she added. The media who ignored the story will have to explain to millions of people who will see the movie why they censored this story.
The filming of the movie itself, sponsored by a crowd-funding campaign, faced censorship. But after raising $2.3 million, Gosnell became the most successful crowdfunded movie on Indiegogo.
With big names involved, the film promises to be a success.
Directed by Nick Searcy (The Shape of Water), Gosnell was filmed in Oklahoma and stars Cain (Lois & Clark). McAleer and McElhinney are experts on the story after interviewing Gosnell, and have even written a best-selling book on the abortionist, published by Regnery. Former employees have confirmed what the filmmakers say: Gosnells abortion clinic was a house of horrors.

I still remember the very second he was found guilty because I shouted "GUILTY!" so loud my house guest heard me downstairs, my neighbors probably heard me down the street.
I will see this movie if it's in my area.
This movie comes out in October, in select theatres.

Here in GA, an abortionist murdered both mom and baby, plus sent others to hospital with botched job.
He went to prison for defrauding Medicaid. The GA Medical Board just gave him back his license ... license to kill.
Meanwhile, the same GA Medical Board won’t let nurses save lives. Why do we have these license boards that become so distorted in their priorities
Details / links on that?
Yes I know...been meaning to post that but there is just so much and I’m one person!
I had the pleasure of seeing an advance screening of Nick Searcy’s new film “Gosnell” last evening at AMC 25 in New York City.
It was really a gripping film and very much a police & law enforcement procedural film, not unlike “Law & Order.” It was very good overall - well made and compelling. Not heavy handed on the abortion issue at all.
There was a Q&A after the show and it looks like this film won’t have a screen in NY State upon it’s opening! The book’s author asked that we call AMC & Regal Theaters and express interest so it gets a great theatrical release!
I have tweeted this info but I thought my Freeper friends would be interested, too.
AMC: (877) 262-4450
Regal: (800) 792-8244
