Film Rights Bought to Richard Clarke Book
From Times Wire Reports
Former counterterrorism advisor Richard Clarke’s best-selling book may be a movie.
Sony Pictures Entertainment has bought the film rights to “Against All Enemies,” Sony Vice Chairwoman Amy Pascal said. In the book, Clarke, a counterterrorism advisor to the last three presidents, charges that the Bush administration gave Iraq priority above Al Qaeda before and after the Sept. 11 attacks.
The movie is to be produced by John Calley, the entertainment group’s former chairman, who worked on the 1976 Watergate drama “All the President’s Men” at Warner Bros.
