In a move that should surprise no one, a biopic is in the works for the highly-decorated (and denigrated) Penn State football coach, Joe Paterno.  What may come as a shock is that Al Pacino is attached to portray him.  Currently, it isn’t clear which way the film, which is structured around the Joe Posnanski book, Paternois going to be marketed: as a true-to-life biopic of Paterno or as a true-crime focus on the Penn State sex scandal.  Hit the jump for much more.
