Blame it on the Media ..

Due to the many positive reviews that I've stumbled across during the last couple of days, I've gotten quite interested in watching State of Play's US movie adaption. Surely one of those cases where curiosity will win over better knowledge, but I'd really like to see how the original mini series' plot and characters are being transformed to fit with the much shorter amount of screen time.

As for the actors...

Am I crazy if I think that the American cast list actually sounds promising makes sense, even though Crowe and Afflek appear to be the complete anti-thesis to their British counterparts?
