State of Play #1: You Can't Go Wrong With a Cast Like This!

I figured it would be a good idea to start this thread, since it has started shooting.

Plot

The Last King of Scotland director Kevin McDonald teams with screenwriter Matthew Michael Carnahan to direct an American adaptation of the hit British miniseries concerning a reporter's (Russell Crowe) murder investigation of a powerful congressman's (Ben Affleck) mistress. Once a close personal friend of the congressman, the determined reporter follows the damning trail of clues straight up to the highest levels of government and industry.

Cast
Rachel McAdams ... Della Frye
Jason Bateman ... Dominic Foy
Russell Crowe ... Cal McAffrey
Ben Affleck ... Stephen Collins
Robin Wright Penn ... Anne Collins
Helen Mirren ... Cameron Lynne


Post away!

There are some set pics here and here with Russell and Jason.

I'm suprised that they kept Russell's hair long and Jason's looking sharp, but I'm excited to see how Rachel looks. Hopefully some pictures with her will pop up soon.

Updated synopsis from Universal and Rope of Silicon:

Quote:
State of Play

OscarĀ® winner Russell Crowe leads an all-star cast in a blistering thriller about a rising congressman and an investigative journalist embroiled in an case of seemingly unrelated, brutal murders. Crowe plays D.C. reporter Cal McCaffrey, whose street smarts lead him to untangle a mystery of murder and collusion among some of the nation's most promising political and corporate figures in State of Play, from acclaimed director Kevin Macdonald (The Last King of Scotland).
Handsome, unflappable U.S. Congressman Stephen Collins (Ben Affleck) is the future of his political party: an honorable appointee who serves as the chairman of a committee overseeing defense spending. All eyes are upon the rising star to be his party's contender for the upcoming presidential race. Until his research assistant/mistress is brutally murdered and buried secrets come tumbling out.

McCaffrey has the dubious fortune of both an old friendship with Collins and a ruthless editor, Cameron (OscarĀ® winner Helen Mirren), who has assigned him to investigate. As he and partner Della (Rachel McAdams) try to uncover the killer's identity, McCaffrey steps into a cover-up that threatens to shake the nation's power structures. And in a town of spin-doctors and wealthy politicos, he will discover one truth: when billions are at stake, no one's integrity, love or life is ever safe.
