James Vanderbilt has been hired by Columbia Pictures to adapt Richard Clarke's memoir of his days in the White House,
Against All Enemies for the big screen, says the Hollywood Reporter.
The book is a New York Times best seller, and is about Clarke's reign as terrorism czar through three presidential administrations.
"I'm very excited to be bringing it to the big screen." said Vanderbilt. "It's like an 'All the President's Men' for the 21st century. I'm going to be spending some time with Richard Clarke and getting to know him. The book doesn't give a lot away about him, but this will revolve around him."
