Naomi Watts will be portraying real life undercover CIA agent Valerie Plame in the upcoming Doug Liman political drama Fair Game. In order to provide the best performance possible, Watts wanted to meet with Plame to learn more of the situation, and of the woman’s mannerisms. A feat that proved a bit difficult given the fact that a large portion of Plame’s story is tied up in government.

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.
