Nothing But The Truth is an upcoming 2008 thriller written and directed by Rod Lurie. The story centers on female newspaper reporter (Kate Beckinsale) who outs a CIA agent and is imprisoned for refusing to reveal her source. David Schwimmer plays Beckinsale's husband, who initially supports his wife's decision not to name names but as time goes by begins to resent her for choosing a principle over her family. Angela Bassett plays the supportive editor in chief at her Washington paper where Beckinsale’s character works, and Noah Wyle plays the lawyer placed in charge of defending her. The cast includes Matt Dillon as the prosecutor, Vera Farmiga as the CIA agent, and Alan Alda plays an attorney who tries to free the reporter from jail.

Nothing but the Truth parallels the case of Valerie Plame, whose status as a CIA agent was exposed in the media after her husband, Ambassador Joe Wilson, wrote a 'New York Times' op-ed piece charging the Bush administration with manipulating intelligence to justify the invasion of Iraq.

Filming (in Memphis, Tennessee) began in 2007 for release on September 19, 2008.
