They just released the trailer for a film I worked on last Fall named "Argo". Directed by and starring Ben Affleck (I thought The Town was done well) and co-starring Bryan Cranston and John Goodman.
Not sure if many are aware that during the Iranian Hostage Crisis in 1979, 6 Americans escaped and hid at the Canadian Embassy. An elaborate scheme was developed to get them out involving a fictitious Sci Fi film that was reported (in Variety and Hollywood Reporter) to begin scouting film locations in Iran. This was the ruse to be able to fly them to Canada and get them back to the U.S.
A very interesting story and testament to the friendship and goodwill of our Northern Neighbors. Should be a good film. Story here.....
