First Look at 'Charlie Wilson's War'
Is it the Oscar contender we think it will be?
Thanks goes out to 'Mike Markus' for pointing out the first look at the upcoming presumed Oscar contender Charlie Wilson's War featured over on AOL.
The film is directed by Mike Nichols and includes such Oscar bait as Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts and Philip Seymour Hoffman. The pic centers on a rogue Texas congressman (Hanks) whose penchant for booze and women earned him the nickname Good Time Charlie. He watched his political career almost go down the drain in the early 1980s when he was caught in a hot tub tryst with two cocaine-sniffing showgirls in Las Vegas. He survived the scandal and ended up overseeing the largest and most successful covert CIA operation in history; his efforts to fund resistance fighters in Afghanistan hastened the fall of the Iron Curtain.
The film will be released on Christmas Day by Universal Pictures, but you can check out the first look below.
