Rama’s SCREEN

The theatrical trailer for the thriller NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. It looks Oscar worthy, it feels Oscar worthy but I got a feeling, it’s a long shot from getting nominated for any Oscar category. Kate Beckinsale may be a very desirable woman and a damn good lookin’ actress but she is far from being respected as a great talent. Can Matt Dillon and Alan Alda expect another nomination again based on this movie, They can,.. but expect is all they can do. That’s my harsh prediction, that may be proven wrong.

Plot:
Inspired by today’s politically charged climate, Nothing But the Truth, features Kate Beckinsale as Washington, DC political journalist Rachel Armstrong, who writes an explosive story about a government scandal in which she reveals the name of a covert CIA agent (Vera Farmiga). When a special government prosecutor (Matt Dillon) demands she divulge her source, she refuses and finds herself behind bars, struggling to defend the principles she has based her career upon.
Written and directed by Rod Lurie (“The Contender,” “Resurrecting the Champ”), Nothing But the Truth also stars Alan Alda, Angela Bassett, David Schwimmer and Noah Wyle

NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH opens December 19, 2008 (NY, LA; expands: Jan. 9, 2009)
