Lawrence Riley Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 There is a new film that is in pre-production called The Good Shepherd, which covers the history of over 40 years in the CIA, told through the eyes of James Wilson, one of its founding officers. The film is directed by Robert Deniro, and stars Deniro as the older James Wilson, and Matt Damon as the younger Wilson. The screenplay was written by Eric Roth who has written such films as The Insider, Ali, and Forrest Gump (adapted). I've heard the film is based loosely on James Jesus Angleton.

Lawrence Riley Posted July 7, 2005 Author Share Posted July 7, 2005 I honestly have no idea. I know that the film has been in the works for a while, and is supposed to come out next Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Gratz Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 DeNiro will get to expound on Angleton's premise that the KGB did it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Gratz Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Quite a while ago I posted a link to a front page article on Sunday's Arts & Entertainment Section of the "New York Times" about three upcoming movies about the CIA, one of which was "The Good Sheperd".
