When Doug Liman‘s Fair Game arrives sometime in 2010 or the following year, we will have had two movies based on the the outing of former CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson — Liman’s, which will probably costar Sean Penn and Naomi Watts, and Rod Lurie‘s Nothing But The Truth, which was also partially based on the trials and incarceration of Susan McDougal.
It still blows my mind how Lurie’s film was abruptly scuttled and gone in a flash when Bob Yari’s company went belly up a little more than two months ago. Nothing But The Truth cost $11 million and change to produce, and it took in just over $3 grand before being pulled from theatres. I can’t verify this with a link that I like, but a friend tells me that Sony is releasing the Nothing But The Truth DVD on 4.28.09.
