NICOLE KIDMAN TO PLAY LEAKED CIA AGENT IN NEW FLICK.

She'll be Valerie Plame; she was targeted back in 2003 by the Washington Post.

The film is based on Plame autobiography, "Fair Game: My Life as a Spy, My Betrayal by the White House." Politico Joseph Wilson's lady was forced to quit, her 20 year of patriotic service- when she marked, as "an agency operative on weapons of mass destruction."

Director Doug Liman finally gets his chance to work with Nicole Kidman, after going with his combative second choice Angie Jolie (Mr. & Mrs. Smith) after Kidman was forced to drop out, helping her nemesis save her career and love life.

Liman fed MTV News this statement: “I have a really, really insane take on how to tell it. It’s so outrageous." That's because, national security issues ended up censoring much of the book.
