Nothing But The Truth Trailer Outted



Rod Lurie's Nothing But The Truth has a new trailer out now, embedded after the jump.

The film stars Kate Beckinsale as reporter Rachel Armstrong, who is imprisoned after her article outs a CIA agent (played by Vera Farmiga) and she refuses to name her source. Co-stars include Matt Dillon, Alan Alda, Angela Bassett, Noah Wyle, and David Schwimmer.

The film is based loosely on real-life CIA agent Valerie Plame, who was outed as a CIA Operations Officer by Robert Novak in his syndicated The Washington Post article. Novak was responding to an op-ed by Plame's husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson, that charged the Bush Administration with manipulating intelligence to justify the preemptive invasion of Iraq.

Rod Lurie's 2007 Resurrecting The Champ was quietly impressive, albeit under-seen, and Nothing But The Truth looks like it could be pretty incendiary stuff. Let's hope more people will catch it this time around.
