In the perfect marriage of politics and Hollywood casting, Robert Redford might portray Dan Rather in a dramatic thriller about the 2004 60 Minutes II investigation into whether or not President George W. Bush received preferential treatment to avoid Vietnam service in 1968. Cate Blanchett is also in talks to play Mary Mapes, the CBS producer who worked on the controversial story and is the central figure in the proposed film, which still lacks financing. Her 2005 book, Truth and Duty: The Press, the President and the Privilege of Power, is the basis for the movie, which will be directed by screenwriter James Vanderbilt (The Amazing Spider-Man).

"I'd be happy to help him any way I can. I might make the price for that his bringing along Ms. Blanchett," jokes Rather, who has never met the two-time Oscar winner. "I've admired her work for a long time. I thought Blue Jasmine was a new high for her, and that's mighty high."

如一切顺利，今秋开机。有可能是在澳洲拍摄Deadline.com reported that shooting is due to start in the northern fall, meaning in the next few months. Blanchett’s preference is to make the film in Australia so she can be close to her family, and the producers are looking into shooting here, IF understands. Most of the film is set in interiors in Washington and New York. 看来其他的片子计划又得拖着了，导演处女作也不知道要什么时候
十月初在悉尼开拍。制片刚到了澳洲，正在选配角。

Truth, a US political drama starring Cate Blanchett and Robert Redford, will start shooting in Sydney in early October.
Redford will play former CBS News anchor Dan Rather with Blanchett as his producer Mary Mapes in the film which will mark the directing debut of screenwriter James Vanderbilt, whose credits include the first two instalments of The Amazing Spider-Man, White House Down and Zodiac.
The plot follows the scandal that ensued after Rather reported on 60 Minutes in 2004 that George W. Bush’s father arranged for him to serve in the National Guard to avoid the Vietnam War draft.
Subsequently CBS launched an investigation into whether the documents quoted in the story were forgeries and Mapes was fired for so-called lapses in judgment.
Rather left CBS News in 2006 and then sued CBS, parent company Viacom and senior management for making him a “scapegoat” in the story. The suit was dismissed by a New York state appeals court.
Vanderbilt is adapting Mapes’ 2005 memoir Truth and Duty: The Press, The President, and the Privilege of Power.
As IF reported, Blanchett’s wanted to make the film, set in Washington and New York, in Australia so she could be close to her family.
Producer Antonia Barnard (co-producer of Michael Petroni’s Backtrack, Tracks and A Few Best Men) has boarded the project, working with William Sherak and Brad Fischer, Vanderbilt’s partner in Mythology Entertainment. Sherak and Vanderbilt arrived in Sydney this week.
Casting is underway in Sydney for the supporting roles.
