New Fair Game Poster – Starring Naomi Watts & Sean Penn

Apple – not the round edible fruit but the people who are known for making iPods, Macs and iPads have released a new poster for Doug Liman’s upcoming political drama Fair Game. Fair Game is based on the true story of Valerie Plame, a covert officer in the CIA who is placed in mortal danger when her cover is blown. The film stars Naomi Watts as Plame and Sean Penn as her husband Joe Wilson. I like the look of this movie, it looks like a taut and intelligent thriller. Fair Game is in US cinemas November 5th, not sure of a UK release date at the moment. You can check the trailer out here.

A suspense-filled glimpse into the dark corridors of political power, FAIR GAME is a riveting action-thriller based on the autobiography of real-life undercover CIA operative VALERIE PLAME (Naomi Watts), whose career was destroyed and marriage strained to its limits when her covert identity was exposed by a politically motivated press leak. As a covert officer in the CIA’s Counter-Proliferation Division, Valerie leads an investigation into the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Valerie’s husband, diplomat JOE WILSON (Sean Penn), is drawn into the investigation to substantiate an alleged sale of enriched uranium from Niger. But when the administration ignores his findings and uses the issue to support the call to war, Joe writes a New York Times editorial outlining his conclusions and ignites a firestorm of controversy. Fair Game will hit theaters on Friday, November 5th, 2010 in limited release.
