A fast and furious take on the newsroom thriller. In an impenetrable jungle of bribery, blackmail and violence a team of reporters tries to make a story out of two apparently unrelated deaths. A polished plot, extensive research in the newspaper and law enforcement milieu, and a top-drawer British cast provide all the ingredients that make STATE OF PLAY an extremely suspenseful and disturbing study of the power of information. Scott Rudin is currently working on a US feature film version.
