BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

First Image Of Ben Affleck In ARGO

Here we have the first image from ARGO starring  Ben Affleck. Affleck directs ARGO, political thriller with wry humor based on a Wired Magazine article titled How the CIA Used a Fake Sci-Fi Flick to Rescue Americans from Tehran about the Tehran hostage crisis.

Based on true events, “Argo” chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis — the truth of which was unknown by the public for decades.

Produced by George Clooney and Grant Heslov, the team behind Good Night And Good Luck.
Scripted by Chris Terrio, the article was written by “Joshuah Bearman and published in April 2007, the story centers on how, during the occupation of the American embassy by Iranians in 1979, a rescue effort was mounted by the CIA and the Canadian government to extract six U.S. diplomats.

The CIA used a disguise expert and concocted a scenario that involved the six being a Hollywood crew scouting a movie titled Argo. Under those disguises, they were able to flee the country.

Of interest to comic geeks is the involvement of legendary comics creator Jack Kirby; the artist’s movie designs and drawings were used by the CIA to sell the existence of the movie.”

Alan Arkin will play Hollywood producer Lester Siegel, an O.S.S. veteran described as part bookie and part rabbi.

John Goodman will play Oscar winning makeup artist, John Chambers (Planet Of The Apes)

Ben Affleck wil play Tony Mendez, the CIA exfiltration expert who created the fake Hollywood production.

Bryan Cranston will play Jack O’Donnell, “an Irish CIA agent from Boston and Dwight Eisenhower’s
wartime bodyguard”

Taylor Schilling will play Affleck’s character’s wife, Christina Mendez, a former teacher who worries for her husband going off on a dangerous mission

Tate Donovan will play Bob Anders, a U.S. embassy consular officer in Tehran

Nelson Franklin will play a reporter.

Here’s the film’s official synopsis..

Based on true events, “Argo” chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis — the truth of which was unknown by the public for decades.

On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, militants storm the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador. Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed, a CIA “exfiltration” specialist named Tony Mendez (Affleck) comes up with a risky plan to get them safely out of the country. A plan so incredible, it could only happen in the movies.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim
