Sean Penn, fresh from his recent Oscar win for "Milk," has reportedly just signed to portray retired ambassador Joe Wilson in the soon-to-be shot flick, "Fair Game."However, the burning question: Will the spy thriller film in Boston?
As previously reported in Loaded Gun, a Hollywood insider says that the new Doug Liman flick, “Fair Game,” may move production to the Boston area. A drama following the life of CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson, "Fair Game" stars Naomi Watts in the lead role of the real-life undercover CIA agent whose identity was illegally revealed in 2003.
The Loaded Gun source says “Fair Game” is currently scheduled to be shot in NYC and, of course, Washington DC which started filming on Saturday, March 14. However, because Manhattan is cutting their tax incentive program there’s a very good chance the full-length feature will move production to the Boston area within the next few weeks.
Director Liman worked with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie on the spy flick “Mr & Ms. Smith.” If Penn does commit to the project, this will be his second made-in-Boston flick--he starred in “Mystic River”--as well as his second film opposite Watts. The duo paired up in the 2003 drama “21 Grams.”
Casting scouts are on the hunt for actors to portray former National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley, Bush’s chief of staff Andy Card, Weapons Intelligence Non-Proliferation and Control official Joe Turner, and several extras to play various reporters, journalists and businessmen.
