Liam Neeson has a number of alluring projects due out this year (including his latest Taken-esque thriller The Commuter), but none has more promise than this spy thriller helmed by Peter Landesman (Concussion).

Neeson will play Mark Felt, the Watergate source better known as Deep Throat, in a docu-drama covering his infamous leaks to The Washington Post's Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein.

This has the potential to be one of Neeson's strongest performances in recent memory, and with a terrific supporting cast including Diane Lane, Maika Monroe, Michael C. Hall, Tom Sizemore and others, there's clearly a lot of acting cred behind this one.

Landesman hasn't really made his mark yet, but if the film captures just a sliver of the huge intrigue behind Felt's story, this could be very special indeed.
