#1 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.

Ramos and Compean?

#3 It sounds like they are going to spend money showing that if a CIA agent tries to push the Whitehouse around, the Whitehouse can push back. Maybe Cindy Sheehan, Joe Wilson, and Valerie Plame can go on the sob sister tour together.

#4 the movie is still predicated on teh storyline taht teh WH outed Plame - it was Armistead - no friend of the WH. They know it, we know it, yt the facts get in the way of "truthiness". Hope it costs a fortune to make and gets the widespread revenue take that Al Franken's docu-biopic got

#5 Thought this was a joke at first. Forgot about Hollywoodless's victim mentality towards Bush haters.

Personally I'm hoping for a movie about Cindy Sheehan. No matter how they did it the result would be a comedy.

#8 I see Hollyweird is still pushing the idea that if you tell a lie often enough, enough people will believe it to make it "true". What a piece of crap! Valerie was not in a "protected" position, her name was in the CIA directory (a public document), and she wasn't "outed". The entire Fitzgerald witch-hunt was a waste of government resources, and Fitzgerald should be sued to the hilt for wasting OUR money. As for Joe Wilson, he suffers from an extreme case of BDS, and it caught up with him. The pair are a POS, and the sooner they disappear from sight the better off we'll ALL be. I hope whoever is backing this loses a LARGE fortune. I suspect this whole idea is being banktrolled by George Soros.

#9 I can hear the theme music now . . .

Plame!
My husband is Joe Wilson
I'm a super secret spy
Hi!
I'm gonna pose for some pictures
People will see me and cry:
"Plame!
I seen your picture in Esquire!"
Light up the sky like a flame
Plame!
I sent my husband to Niger
Baby remember my name
Plame!
