Here’s the first official still from Ridley Scott’s next movie BODY OF LIES. Yes, I know… he is that far into production on another movie already.

Based on a David Ignatius novel of the same name and written into a screenplay by THE DEPARTED scribe William Monahan, the movie will see Leonardo DiCaprio star alongside Russell Crowe for the first time in 12 years. The plot involves a manipulative CIA boss (Crowe) who teams with an operative (DiCaprio) to trap a deadly Al Qaeda leader by framing him with a false rumor to his people that the bomber is in cahoots with the U.S.

It’s a political/thriller and after Scott’s AMERICAN GANGSTER, it should hopefully be filmed by a director who is brimming with confidence after some prior failures.

BLACK BOOK’S Carice Van Houten co-stars as Leo’s wife, with the movie set to open sometime late next year.
