The CIA leak scandal involving Joseph Wilson and his wife, CIA agent Valerie Plame
has been acquired by Warner Brothers Studios.

The studio, reports Variety, is developing a feature film drama on the lives of Valerie Plame and Ambassador Joseph Wilson, the married couple whose lives were turned upside down by administration insiders and key journalists.

The film will be a co-production between Weed Road's Akiva Goldsman and Jerry and Janet Zucker of Zucker Productions. Jez and John Butterworth are writing the screenplay, reports Variety.

"Almost everything that we need for the movie is available from print outlets, and obviously we haven't read the book yet because it hasn't been approved by the CIA," Jerry Zucker said to Variety. "Valerie has been incredibly careful with what she tells us, it's almost like she is still working for the CIA. The biggest element of the movie to us is the story of two people who spent their lives in service of their government, and were then betrayed by that government."

1. A powerful and obvious truth:
"The biggest element of the movie to us is the story of two people who spent their lives in service of their government, and were then betrayed by that government."

If they cast characters - I can't wait to see who plays Victoria Toensing and Joe De Genova. Accomplished lawyers participating in the government betrayal.

3. An Excellent Point Of View From The Beginning
will bring truth to the process and into the movie theaters. Any guesses as to who will play them?
