Every year, the Writer’s Guild of America chooses a screenplay to receive the Paul Selvin Award, which recognizes work exemplifying constitutional rights.  This year, sibling screenwriting duo Jez Butterworth & John-Henry Butterworth have been given the award for their script Fair Game.

Doug Liman loves spies. Not the over-the-top adventure that Hollywood generally creates however. He appreciates the simple choices that can be massive to someone working for the CIA. And along came a script about Valerie Plame, a CIA operative who was outed back in 2003 which in turn ended her career with the agency.

Liman has brought Plame’s story to the big screen with Fair Game. Naomi Watts stars as Valerie and Sean Penn stars as her husband, Joe Wilson. This is a captivating story that Liman has successfully made into a thought-provoking feature film. The performances are top-notch and the story is absolutely riveting.

The trailer for Doug Liman's Fair Game is now online and while the trailer itself is a tad on the cheesy side, the movie itself looks terrific.

Synopsis: A suspense-filled glimpse into the dark corridors of political power, FAIR GAME is a riveting action-thriller based on the autobiography of real-life undercover CIA operative VALERIE PLAME (Naomi Watts), whose career was destroyed and marriage strained to its limits when her covert identity was exposed by a politically motivated press leak. As a covert officer in the CIA’s Counter-Proliferation Division, Valerie leads an investigation into the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Valerie’s husband, diplomat JOE WILSON (Sean Penn), is drawn into the investigation to substantiate an alleged sale of enriched uranium from Niger. But when the administration ignores his findings and uses the issue to support the call to war, Joe writes a New York Times editorial outlining his conclusions and ignites a firestorm of controversy.
