"Plame Film In Works At Warner Bros."
"Warner Bros. is developing a feature on the lives of Valerie Plame and Ambassador Joseph Wilson, the married couple drawn into a D.C. firestorm.

snip

"WB has secured the life rights of Plame and Wilson. Studio also will use Plame's memoir, "Fair Game," if the CIA permits her to publish it. Plame made a reported publishing deal in the $2.5 million range last year, and Simon & Schuster is expected to publish late this year. While it would be ironic for Plame's story to be illegally leaked by the White House, only to have another government branch deny her the right to tell it herself, the CIA has the latitude to silence Plame.

snip

""Almost everything that we need for the movie is available from print outlets, and obviously we haven't read the book yet because it hasn't been approved by the CIA," Jerry Zucker said. "Valerie has been incredibly careful with what she tells us, it's almost like she is still working for the CIA. The biggest element of the movie to us is the story of two people who spent their lives in service of their government, and were then betrayed by that government."

5. I wonder who they'll get to play Dick Cheney and his snarling scowl
or will they have to do a kind of blue screen and computer animation thing like they did with Gollum?

2. Sharon Stone, sans agent, has probably been speed-dialing for this role. n/t

3. I hope she gets it
She is perfect for the role, she looks like her, and she is a very political person.

8. Really? 3 WB employees at DU?
The Plame threads are all archived, I believe, in the research forum. If you could actually make this happen, please PM H20Man or Seemslikeadream or "Me" or Merh. They have them on automatic link, I believe.

This is better than that tv series, Alias, because it's real, it's true, and it goes deep into the heart of the evil that really DOES rule the world.
