Fair Game trailer
Thu, August 19, 2010 Hold your excitement folks, this is not a trailer for the Billy Baldwin/Cindy Crawford classic, and hold your anger because no one is remaking that cinematic masterpiece, this is the trailer for Doug Liman's film about real life CIA agent Valerie Plame.
This isn't one of your cool action spy flicks, it's "realistic" apparently and no doubt looking for awards. Top thesps Naomi Watts and Sean Penn head up the cast, the latter of which doesn't get out of bed unless there's a chance to win a golden baldie.
The film is based on real events and looks to be a fairly intense political drama, I like Liman and after the underwhelming "Jumper" this may be just the type of movie he needs to get back on track.
Yahoo.movies have the trailer in HD and the film opens November 10th.

You know, its a shame that the man who ACTUALLY "leaked" Plame's name (former Clinton appointee - Richard Armitage) is not even named in the movie.
From Newsbusters.org (http://newsbusters.org/blogs/p-j-gladnick/2010/08/21/valerie-plame-fair-game-movie-tosses-name-leaker-richard-armitage-down)
The only way we even know the name of Valerie Plame (and fame seeking hubby Joe Wilson) is that that former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage leaked her name as a CIA officer to columnist Robert Novak. That is what set in motion the long drawn out Plamegate affair in which only Scooter Libby was convicted of something other than leaking her name. So you would figure that the supposedly biographical movie scheduled for a November USA release about Plame, Fair Game, would feature Armitage front and center as the principal villain. Right? Wrong. The fact is that "Fair Game" has tossed Richard Armitage down the memory hole. The man who is responsible for the reason that any of us even know who Valerie Plame is appears nowhere in the extensive IMDB cast credits for this movie
