Kerry Washington Will Play Anita Hill in Upcoming HBO Movie

Kerry Washington looks super fierce in two different outfits while filming scenes for Scandal on Tuesday (March 17) in downtown Los Angeles.

The 38-year-old actress just landed a great new movie role – she will play attorney Anita Hill in the upcoming HBO movie Confirmation.

The film will be about the “1991 Clarence Thomas-Hill Supreme Court nomination hearings, which brought the nation to a standstill and forever changed the way people think about sexual harassment, victims’ rights and race relations in the modern world,” according to Entertainment Weekly.

Susannah Grant, who wrote the screenplay for Erin Brockovich, will pen the script and a director has not been set yet.
