Liman plans a ‘Fair Game’ for Penn and Watts

‘Fair Game’ will be directed by Doug Liman (Mr. & Mrs. Smith) and is a political drama that will chronicle the controversial story of Valerie Plame Wilson, whose CIA cover was compromised after her husband published columns accusing the Bush Administration of manipulating intelligence.

The controversy lies in the debate ver whether someone in Bush’s administration leaked her cover in retaliation. The film is based on Wilson’s memoir. Currently, Naomi Watts (The International) is attached to star as Valerie Plame Wilson and now Sean Penn is in negotiations to join the cast.
