Sony Pictures Classics announced today that they have acquired the North American rights to The Silent Man (formerly known as “Felt”), the film based on the life of Mark Felt (Liam Neeson), the secret high-ranking FBI informant during the Watergate scandal who is famously known as “Deep Throat.”
The Silent Man is set for a September release, as the recent political turmoil has sparked a renewed public interest in Felt’s story.
The Silent Man centers on “Deep Throat,” the pseudonym given to the notorious whistleblower for one of the greatest scandals of all time, Watergate.
The Silent Man features an all-star cast including Academy Award-nominated Liam Neeson (Schindler’s List, Taken) in the title role of Mark Felt, as well as Diane Lane (Unfaithful), Marton Csokas (The Equalizer), Josh Lucas (The Lincoln Lawyer), Tony Goldwyn (Scandal), Michael C.
