Insider’s account into John Edwards’ affair set for the big screen

AN INSIDER’S account of John Edwards’ affair and the lengths he went to hide his mistress will be developed into a movie, a former aide to the two-time presidential candidate has revealed.

Andrew Young said that he has reached a deal with writer and producer Aaron Sorkin. He declined to discuss the terms of the agreement, but Sorkin confirmed he had acquired the rights to Young’s book, The Politician.

“This is a first-hand account of an extraordinary story filled with motivations, decisions and consequences that would have lit Shakespeare up,” Sorkin said in a statement.
