Interesting idea but you know who you are going to see Penn play?

I think a film about the Smothers brothers and the nature of the beast we call television could be very cool. He would have made a great Dick, not sure I'd want to see him play Tom. Here's a pretty incendiary bit of casting though, Sean is playing Joe Wilson in a film about Plamegate!http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0977855/Naomi Watts plays Valerie Plame. I have to admit the first thing I did when I heard about this was scan the rest of the cast to see what other real life folks would be portrayed in the film. There is an actor cast to play Scooter Libby but the rest of the "big names" you might think could appear (Rove, Cheney, etc...) are not listed, doesn't mean they are not in the film but perhaps this film was meant to focus on Joe and Valerie and what happened to them. Great subject matter for a film and I'm looking forward to this one. Would have loved to have heard the conversation when Sean was asked to play Joe Wilson...
