CONFIDENTIAL ALMANAC | Dates in Film Culture History<\/strong><\/p>\n

10 Years Ago<\/strong> \u2026 May 2008:<\/em> Seeking a sense of Midwest authenticity on a modest studio budget, prolific film and television director Steven Soderbergh<\/strong> chooses to capture footage for the corporate intrigue caper THE INFORMANT!<\/strong> in and around Decatur, Illinois<\/strong>, the real-life location of the primary events dramatized in the movie. Beginning with little fanfare around Thursday, May 1<\/strong>, the production moves back and forth between Decatur and outlying towns such as Moweaqua<\/strong> and Forsyth<\/strong> with a cast that includes Scott Bakula, Joel McHale, Melanie Lynksey, Ann Cusack, Tony Hale<\/strong>, and star Matt Damon<\/strong>, attracting helpful and appreciative locals along the way<\/a><\/span>. After spending two-and-a-half weeks in Macon County<\/strong>, the crew moves on to nearby Springfield<\/strong><\/span><\/a> and then St. Louis<\/strong> before making brief stops in far-reaching places like California, Hawaii<\/strong>, and France<\/strong>. Based on the book The Informant: A True Story<\/span><\/strong> by Kurt Eichenwald<\/strong> and adapted by screenwriter Scott Z. Burns<\/strong>, THE INFORMANT!<\/strong> retells the unbelievable episode involving Mark Whitacre<\/span><\/strong>, a former senior executive at the agricultural manufacturing giant Archer-Daniels-Midland Co.<\/strong><\/span><\/a> of Decatur, who agreed to wear a wire over several years in the early Nineties to help the FBI<\/strong> investigate his employer\u2019s alleged price-fixing attempts. Even though the findings proved to be accurate and wide-reaching, ADM and its global brethren did not suffer much in the courts or marketplace<\/span><\/a>; Whitacre earned his own prison time for inexplicably embezzling millions of dollars from the company while playing the part of a law enforcement mole. Warner Bros.<\/strong> originally announced distribution of THE INFORMANT!<\/strong> for the following spring through their specialty label, Warner Independent Pictures<\/strong>, but would eventually settle for a wide release of the Participant Media\/Groundswell Productions<\/strong> film under the WB shield on September 18, 2009<\/strong>, in North America<\/strong>. It is the last Hollywood<\/strong> narrative feature to shoot in central Illinois<\/strong> to date. As reported on 3\/16\/08<\/span><\/a>, 12\/22\/08<\/span><\/a>, 9\/26\/09<\/span><\/a> at<\/em> CUBlog<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
