Variety magazine reported that Penn is in negotiations to portray Plame's husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson, who saw his wife's CIA identity uncovered after he wrote columns criticizing Bush's handling of the invasion of Iraq.
The former envoy to Iraq, in an opinion piece in The New York Times, had accused the administration of distorting intelligence about Iraq, particularly about weapons of mass destruction.
The film is based on Plame's 2007 memoir, "Fair Game: My Life as a Spy, My Betrayal by the White House," according to Variety.
Should Penn commit to the project it would be his second film co-starring opposite Watts. The two paired up in the 2003 drama "21 Grams."
