We got a still of just Ben Affleck in his third directing effort after Gone Baby Gone and The Town, but now we have a look at his team. Based on a real-life Iran hostage event, Argo has a fantastic cast that includes Affleck himself, Alan Arkin, Bryan Cranston, John Goodman, Zeljko Ivanek, Richard Kind, Scoot McNairy, Chris Messina, Michael Parks, Kerry Bishe, Kyle Chandler, Rory Cochrane, Christopher Denham, Tate Donovan, Clea DuVall, Victor Garber and Taylor Schilling.
Warner Bros. (via CS) has the new image below, which see Affleck going over some plans for his mission with some of his team. The most noticeable thing to take away from this new still is how they nailed the 1970s aesthetic, from the carpeting to the lamps to the clothing. Check it out below for the film we’ll hopefully we’ll see more of soon.
Synopsis:
Based on true events, “Argo” chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis–the truth of which was unknown by the public for decades. On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, militants storm the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador. Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed, a CIA “exfiltration” specialist named Tony Mendez (Affleck) comes up with a risky plan to get them safely out of the country. A plan so incredible, it could only happen in the movies.
Argo hits theaters September 14th, 2012.
