20th Century Fox and Regency Enterprises have bought New York Times reporter Alex Berenson's upcoming novel
The Faithful Spy, says the Hollywood Reporter.
The feature is described as a thriller in the vein of 1987's 'No Way Out', and centers on a U.S. intelligence officer who infiltrates the dark world of international terrorism.
"It's a classic undercover story about what happens to someone when they are under deep cover for several years and endure profound character stresses," said producer Doug Wick. "We think it's a way to build a thriller around a performance."
