Movies - The Good Shepherd


The Good Shepherd is a film directed by Robert De Niro
for a release in 2006. The film is a part fiction/part fact based look at the early history of the CIA through the eyes of Edward Wilson (Matt Damon
), a character based on James Jesus Angleton. Robert De Niro
developed this film for many years as a pet project and will now sit in the director's chair for the second time in his career. De Niro will also costar as the General who recruits Wilson, and Angelina Jolie
will play Wilson's wife. Joe Pesci
will come out of a seven year retirement for this film, in his first onscreen role since Lethal Weapon 4
. Filming began in August 2005 with a release date set for December 22, 2006. Although it has not yet been released, it has been rumored for several Academy Awards, considering it has De Niro, Damon, and Pesci involved.

Cast

Story

Edward Wilson, the only witness to his father's suicide and member of the Skull and Bones Society while a student at Yale, is a morally upright young man who values honor and discretion, qualities that help him to be recruited for a career in the newly founded Central Intelligence Agency. While working there, his ideals gradually turn to suspicion influenced by the Cold War paranoia present within the office. Eventually, he becomes an influential veteran operative, while his distrust of everyone around him increases to no end. His dedication to his work does not come without a price though, leading him to sacrifice his ideals and eventually his family.

Trivia

  • During the years in development hell, Roth's script earned the informal honour of being 'Hollywood's best unproduced script'.
