Controversial 9/11 book to become movie

The publishing story of the year has been the deluge of books being written about 9/11 from "insiders." Just about everyone who so much as had a temp job in the White House has published this or that book, and it was innevitable that ONE of them would be made into a movie eventually.

The lucky boy who gets the honor of being optioned first is Richard Clarke's "Against All Enemies." For those of you currently enjoying life in the "under a rock" section of town, Clarke is one of the star witnesses in the current 9/11 Investigation Committee hearings, a former terror-czar for Clinton and Bush Sr. who claims that his pre-9/11 claims of Al Qaeda dangers fell on deaf ears prior to the attack. Sony has optioned the book.

This counts as a pretty bold move on Sony's part. Clarke's book is HUGELY controversial, the committee hasn't released it's final findings, etc., basically the "story" isn't over yet. The book itself is really more of an autobiography tracing Clarke's history as a terrorism expert, though the "money pages" are in the later chapters where he goes into his Bush II administration experiences. It's really, REALLY clinical, "old guys in suits talking" material to be optioned for what must have been a good chunk of change.

This'll be interesting to watch, lets see what happens when the mainstream press gets hold of it.
