Director Doug Liman's Fair Game will be among many future Oscar-contending films at this year's 63rd Cannes Film Festival to be held May 12-23, 2010. The film stars Sean Penn and Naomi Watts, who will be appearing together yet again after garnering critical success in The Assasination of Richard Nixon
and 21 Grams
previously. The political drama is about CIA agent Valerie Plame, who is exposed by White House Officials after he wrote a New York Times piece with incriminating evidence against the Bush administration and its decision to invade Iraq. Heavy stuff.
The story inspired 2008's Nothing But The Truth
starring Vera Farmiga and Kate Beckinsale, but Liman's film is the actual real deal. Watts has a second film, You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, which also is the latest film from legendary Woody Allen. It also stars Anthony Hopkins, Antonio Banderas, Freida Pinto and Josh Brolin. Hmm, gee... I wonder who will be cast as the Tall Dark Stranger in this one? Could it be sexy MANtonio?
