Rama’s SCREEN

The International Trailer for BODY OF LIES has hit the web and it doesn’t look like it’s going to be exactly like the book that it’s based on. I’ve read the book by author David Ignatius and this trailer makes the movie seem more action-packed. But that’s okay, as long as it does what a thriller movie’s supposed to do.
I thought Philip Seymour Hoffman would’ve been more suitable to play the character Ed Hoffman instead of Russell Crowe.

Directed by: Ridley Scott (Gladiator). Adapted screenplay by William Monahan (The Departed)
Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Ridley Scott’s go-to guy, Russell Crowe.

Based on Washington Post columnist David Ignatius’ 2007 novel about a CIA operative, Roger Ferris (Leonardo DiCaprio), who uncovers a lead on a major terrorist leader suspected to be operating out of Jordan. When Ferris devises a plan to infiltrate his network, he must first win the backing of cunning CIA veteran Ed Hoffman (Russell Crowe) and the collegial, but perhaps suspect, head of Jordanian intelligence. Although ostensibly his allies, Ferris questions how far he can really trust these men without putting his entire operation - and his life - on the line

BODY OF LIES opens October 10th, 2008
