STRICTLY SPEAKING, WE DON'T HAVE ONE, BUT WE'RE WORKING HARD ON THAT: So, obviously Sorkin + Hanks + Nichols in an awards-season film? Obviously going to have some interest around here. But I'm not sure quite what to think of the trailer for Charlie Wilson's War, which, along with Elizabeth: The Golden Age and American Gangster, are Universal's big awards hopefuls. In particular, casting Hanks as a character who's less than completely likable is certainly a risk, as is giving Julia Roberts the chance to wrestle with Sorkinese.

Also--related prediction--the big box office hits of the Thanksgiving/Christmas season will be American Gangster, National Treasure: Book Of Secrets, I Am Legend, and Enchanted.
