Hugh Jackman's new film "Bad Education" first released trailer, playing a corrupt principal

The first trailer of the new film "Bad Education" starring Hugh Jackman was recently released. In the film, Hugh Jackman plays a corrupt principal. The film will be broadcast on HBO on April 25.

"Bad Education" is adapted from a true story. Hugh Jackman plays Frank Tasona, the director of public schools in Long Island, New York, who illegally embezzled a large amount of public funds for personal consumption, involving an amount of more than 11.2 million US dollars. In addition to the principal, several staff members also participated in the crime. They not only embezzled public funds to buy private jets, but also used public accounts to buy dog ​​food for their pets.

In 2006, the corrupt "principal" Frank Tasona was sentenced to 4-12 years in prison for first-degree theft, but he was released on parole in 2010 after serving three years. Screenwriter Mike Makovsky was a graduate of Long Island Public School, and the corruption case caused a huge sensation in the local area. He was not communicated with when writing the script, and mainly interviewed teachers and other staff.

After its premiere at the Toronto Film Festival, "Bad Education" received an 83% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes and was quickly bought by HBO for a high price of $17.5 million, becoming HBO's "TV movie" and is said to be available on HBO Max.
