Excuse me, didn't they already make this picture? "All The President's Men", seems to ring a bell. Since Felt's memory is supposedly shot (along with his conscience), aren't Woodie and Bernie the only authorities in this regard? And didn't the stunning Bob Redford (as the butt-ugly Bob Woodward) and the somewhat less than stunning Dustin Hoffman (as the even more unstunning Carl Bernstein) already give us the definitive, never to be forgotten (or repeated) portrayal of the Watergate scandal? I realize that Hollywood is derivative writ large, but it would seem to be a desecration of a sacred iconic film to redo ATPM. Of course, they could take a different approach, like telling the truth, but that would be a bit much to expect of the Hollywood Left.
I agree.
This is crapping all over ATPM.
Not cool.
