NEW YORK The first major Hollywood film inspired by the Plame/CIA leak case is ready to roll and, surprise, the main focus apparently will not be on a character based on Valerie or Joe Wilson, Bob Novak or even Patrick Fitzgerald -- but rather on Judith Miller.
NEW YORK The first major Hollywood film inspired by the Plame/CIA leak case is ready to roll and, surprise, the main focus apparently will not be on a character based on Valerie or Joe Wilson, Bob Novak or even Patrick Fitzgerald -- but rather on Judith Miller.
And she may be played by Kate Beckinsale, who is quite a few years younger than the real thing.
Or as London's Daily Telegraph puts it today in a headline: "Kate to play Hack." Rotten Tomatoes has a slightly different take: "Leggy Brunette to Play Beleaguered Reporter."
Edie Falco, fresh from "The Sopranos," is targeted to play the Bill Keller role as the editor of the jailed female reporter, Variety reports. Matt Damon would be the prosecutor, and up-and-comer Vera Farmiga would play the dashing CIA agent. News has emerged that Rod Lurie, known for his fine Capitol Hill drama "The Contender," will direct the film, titled "Nothing But the Truth."
Lurie is the son of famed editorial cartoonist Ranan Lurie and former film critic for the New York Daily News and many magazines. He created the Geena Davis television series "Commander In Chief" and reputedly holds liberal views.
According to Variety sources, the lead is a Washington reporter who outs a CIA agent, then is jailed for refusing to reveal her source.
Shooting may begin in October. If it happens, this would beat to the screen a planned fact-based film based on the memoir being written by Plame.

Yes, Judy Miller is out of work she had to come up with some sort of income.
Kate Beckinsale as Judy Miller? Ms. Beckindale is much younger than Judy.. The studio needs to find an actress that is much older and a twit like can act like Miller. I would love to see the scene when Miller puts her notes stashed in her shopping bag under her desk.
Do you look anything like Jessica Alba, Chicago Native???
And does Kittybowtie look like Justin Timberlake? ;-)
who will be the cute investigator, can't recall his name-the one who stood by PJF at the Libby indictment
I wonder if they will play Judy Miller as the twit she really is? I doubt it, since she is giving up her story for this, so if she is not played as the twit she is then this will be a truley fictional piece and they might as well have Kermit the Frog play the cute investigator Prissy is talking about.
And does this mean that I will see you in your first debut on the silver screen as wife number one, two, or six in the upcoming movie: "Rudy/Rudia," Chicago Native? Will you and Rudy fight over the red tube of lipstick and panty hose??
"they might as well have Kermit the Frog play the cute investigator Prissy is talking about."
LOL!
I really like Matt Damon but sorry he's no Fitz. No matter who plays Fitz's part I will always see the real person. My Little Angel is unique and can't be copied.
As for Judy the Whore well Kate should ask for alot of money to play a fake Journalist.
Kittybowtie should play himself. He could use the extra money for cat food. Mr. Kitty is as sexy as Orlando Bloom as far as I'm concerned.
No I don't wear red lipstick, that's for drag queens. As far as me getting anywhere near Rudia, no thanks, if I have advance warning I will stay blocks if not miles away. I would not want to deal with the fan base s/he will draw either, the bigger the distance is how I want it.
No I am not a Jessica look alike.
Ok I'm been thinking about this for a while now. There is one man who can capture the outward/inward beauty of my Little Angel. He's a man who you can just look at walking, he's handsome yet his that little boy look, he has the talent to make the camera see the real baby Fitz. Yes and the famous look with the eye bow up too. Before I say who I just want everyone to know I was raised color blind so all that stuff that's now going on has nothing to do with the way I think.
My choice is Denzel Washington should play Patrick J. Fitzgerald. I really don't think brother Libby would mind.
Denzel is a much better actor than Matt Damon. Denzel is a man and Damon is still a kid. If they got Johnny Depp, I think I would laugh through the whole thing. Orlando Bloom--me-ow.
How about Daniel-Day Lewis? Just not this wardrobe
If Denzel played the Rugby Man, is the director going to explain in the movie that the Rugby Man has a tan? ;-)
This wardrobe, with a haircut
The lady who feeds me says Matt Damon is just not hot enough for that role, and Lewis was really hot as a part Indian.
Actually, Denzel has eyes that look they could pierce cinder blocks, too. I would not want either Denzel or the Rugby Man mad at me--quiet on the outside but both look like they could be hiding something on the inside.
;-)
At least the Rugby Man does have beady eyes like the Gerbil..
Hiding something kittybowtie.. Notice that the Rugby Man's eyebrow goes up in pics as he cling onto his briefcase. What is in the man's briefcase? SPB needs to know... ;-)
The addresses of all the coffee shops--that's what's in the briefcase.
"The addresses of all the coffee shops--that's what's in the briefcase."
LOL! Must be a special recipe in the coffee in each coffee shop.
