Liam Neeson is the whistleblower known as ?Deep Throat? in the trailer for the film Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House.
Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House is set for release in September, and it stars Neeson as Felt, as the trailer above illustrates. Diane Lane costars in the film as Felt?s wife, with Michael C. Hall playing John Dean and Julian Morris playing Woodward.
In the two-minute trailer above, he meet a silver-haired Mark Felt as a square-jawed, traditional FBI man. However, when he hears about the Watergate break-in in 1972, Felt discovers various corrupt actions of the Nixon Administration, and decides to blow the whistle. Soon thereafter, he meets with Bob Woodward in, yes, a parking garage ? and yes, he?s told that his nickname at the Washington Post is ?Deep Throat.?
The Mark Felt mystery galvanized political junkies and presidential historians for decades. His story was told in a memoir, published prior to Felt?s death at age 95 in 2008, as well as a follow-up book by Woodward, but for all the impact Deep Throat has had culturally, Felt?s own story has never been the focus of a screen adaptation before.
