State of Play
A congressman's mistress is killed, and a team of investigative reporters secretly work with a police detective to solve the murder. The movie will be called State of Play, an American version of an acclaimed British miniseries that you can buy on DVD. The new version, which will star Brad Pitt and directed by Kevin McDonald from a script by Matthew Michael Carnahan, will start shooting in November. The plot isn't what anyone would call strongly similar to Clint Eastwood's Absolute Power ('97), but it's the same line of country -- I need to watch the British miniseries.

The British mini-series was excellent and Carnahan's screenplay was great...will be shocked if this isn't a home run.

You're better off getting the DVD direct from here than paying $70 for a second-hand copy.

Apologies for the gigantic link, I didn't think it would stretch across the page like that. If anyone can delete it that'd be super, and try this one instead.

And ABSOLUTE POWER was just a knock-off of Lawrence Block's novel THE BURGLAR IN THE CLOSET.
