Exclusive on-set photos of Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts and Phillip Seymour Hoffman filming "Charlie Wilson's War" have gone up at Real Movie News.

The shoot, at a makeshift refugee camp, took place in the Atlas Mountains of Morrocco which is doubling for Afghanistan. Click the image below to access the gallery of photos.

The story follows Charlie Wilson, a rogue Texas congressman (Hanks) whose penchant for booze and women earned him the nickname Good Time Charlie. He watched his political career almost go down the drain in the early 1980s when he was caught in a hot tub tryst with two cocaine-sniffing showgirls in Las Vegas.

He survived the scandal and ended up overseeing the largest and most successful covert CIA operation in history; his efforts to fund resistance fighters in Afghanistan hastened the fall of the Iron Curtain. The real Charlie Wilson can be seen in these photos, he's the one in the baseball cap.
