Director Paul Greengrass will reportedly helm a movie based on the non-fiction novel 'Agent Storm: My Life Inside Al Qaeda and the CIA'.
Sony Pictures has acquired movie rights of the book, which will be available in stores starting September 2, reported the Deadline.
'Agent Storm...' chronicles the real-life story of Morten Storm, a former Islam radical who eventually realized how dangerous extremist groups were and, in a quest for atonement, became a double agent for the CIA and British and Danish intelligence.
If Greengrass signs, the movie will reunite him with Scott Rudin, who previously produced his Oscar-nominated film 'Captain Phillips' which was also based on a true story.
