The film is the true story of former New Jersey Heavyweight boxer Chuck Wepner. Wepner is most famous for going 15 rounds with Ali and losing, but he was also a womanizer.

'J. Edgar' Cast Gets Even More Interesting With Addition of Naomi Watts

Director Clint Eastwood's Hoover biopic J. Edgar just keeps adding more and more interesting names to its cast. After landing Leonardo DiCaprio to fill the titular role, Eastwood and team have also signed Armie Hammer from The Social Network to play his alleged lover, the oft-overlooked Josh Lucas to play Charles Lindbergh, and Gossip Girl's Ed Westwick as the clean-cut agent who Hoover hires to write his biography. And now Naomi Watts has signed on to play the original FBI director's longtime secretary, according to Deadline.

This probably isn't how she'll look in the film, I just really like this picture.

Watts is taking on the role that had previously been earmarked for Charlize Theron, but scheduling changes have shuffled things around for both actresses. Theron is going to be portraying the Evil Queen in Snow White and the Huntsman instead, which works out well for Eastwood and fellow producers Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, and Robert Lorenz—it turns out Naomi was their first choice for the part anyway, but until recently it didn't seem she'd be available.

Movie Review: 'Fair Game'

Fair Game Starring Naomi Watts, Sean Pean Directed by Doug Limam Rated PG-13

If you follow politics, the name Valerie Plame might ring some bells. She was the CIA agent whose name was released to the press back during the Bush administration. Knowing that particular story isn't a requirement for seeing this movie, as it does a good job of informing its audience of what it needs to know to follow the story.

The backdrop of Fair Game falls around the events of 9/11, and the actions leading up to and following the war in Iraq. Valerie Plame Wilson (Naomi Watts) is an undercover CIA operative, who manages both field work and teams of operatives. She's part of a team investing whether or not Iraq is attempting to enrich uranium to create weapons of mass destruction. In her task, her husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson (Sean Penn), is enlisted to reach out to his contacts in Niger, to confirm or deny Iraq's purchase of uranium from that country.

A Woman with Three Jobs - Fair Game Poster

A new poster for Doug Liman's, Fair Game released today.  Using the "inspired by true events" tagline (Note: "inspired by" is one step away from "based on" which is another step away from the truth), 'Fair Game' stars Naomi Watts and Sean Penn. 

As you can tell from the poster, its another one of those CIA meets government politics stories.

Foul Poster for 'Fair Game'

Ugh...what is this? I mean, I know it's a poster for Fair Game - I just wrote that in the headline, but this is all they've got? I'll give it a bit of a pass because it's not the highest resolution image I've ever seen, but this is boring, something a movie poster should never intend to be. OK, so there's Naomi Watts, appearing to emerge from some sort of fog or something and the CIA seal comes out of that, too, so you know it's a spy movie. But Sean Penn's grin is almost evil; in any case, I wouldn't buy him as the suffering husband in this movie based on this image. The fonts are boring, the images are boring, and one of the stars is polarizing. Hey, good luck with the sale. The shame of it is, Fair Game features a lot of talent and a compelling story and is so much more promising than this poster lets on.
