Matt Damon in THE INFORMANT Photos
Directed by Steven Soderbergh (above, lower photo) and written by Scott Z. Burns (from Kurt Eichenwald’s book on the true story of executive-turned-whistleblower Mark Whitacre), The Informant! was recently screened out of the competition at the 2009 Venice Film Festival.
Matt Damon, who gained about 30 lbs. for the role (and who still looks nothing like Whitacre), stars as the high-ranking executive informant (and embezzler) who gets agribusiness giant Archer Daniels Midland in big trouble with the U.S. government.
Also in the Informant! cast: Lucas Carroll, Eddie Jemison, and Rusty Schwimmer.
The Informant! opens in the US on Sept. 18.

We now have a favorite for the best actor Oscar.
I think it’s too early to tell who will get a nomination or who will be the Oscar 2010 favorite.
They’ll probably give Matt Damon an Oscar just because he gained weight. The Academy loves that kinda thing.
