Harrison Ford Gets Serious In ‘Official Secrets’

It’s good to see Harrison Ford get back into serious territory once again.  For every girlie man movie like Star Wars, I guess there is a cooler movie like Blade Runner 2, or a spy thriller like ‘Official Secrets’.

Ford has joined the movie adaptation of ‘The Spy Who Tried To Stop A War: Katherine Gun and The Secret Plot to Sanction the Iraq Invasion.’  The movie will be directed by John Chadwick and will also star Natalie Dormer.

Check out the outline below.

In the run up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Katharine Gun (Dormer), a young British intelligence officer reveals a secret illegal NSA spy operation against the UN Security Council designed to ensure passage of a resolution for war to Martin Bright (Bettany) a reporter at the British newspaper, The London Observer. Katharine’s arrest following the leak makes headlines around the world. In an attempt to gain the evidence to free Katharine, Martin unearths the shocking plot which puts both Katharine and Martin’s lives in great jeopardy. Freeman will be playing Peter Edwards, the foreign affairs editor at The Observer, while Hopkins is playing a retired UK general, and Ford, a CIA agent.
