Aaron Sorkin (screenwriter of A Few Good Men) has a new film in the works based on a book by Andrew Young about John Edwards’ downfall.

Young reported that he turned down a variety of offers to adapt his book into film form. But it was Sorkin who won the author over. “He was the last thing I expected: very genuine, very down to earth and very unlike anyone else we worked with in Hollywood,” Young stated. “He was very caring and we have a couple of issues with trusting people with what we’ve been through.”

According to Young, the film may contain new details regarding the Edwards scandal. In an interview with True Hollywood Reporter, Young revealed that he was in a position to provide Sorkin with as-of-now unknown information that he kept out of The Politician: An Insider’s Account of John Edwards’s Pursuit of the Presidency and the Scandal That Brought Him Down. Wow. Couldn’t think of a shorter title, Young? Really?

Young elaborated, “There was a ton of stories I could have put in there but didn’t because I couldn’t prove it. That’s something we’re going to work through. There’s a whole other side of the story that’s never been told.”

My interest is, as they say, piqued.

Of course, the author didn’t provide any details as far as exactly what he’s talking about. What a tease.
