Walt Disney Pictures has picked up the rights to David Ignatius' novel THE INCREMENT. Jerry Bruckheimer will produce the film, whose story is described as very dark material. The uber producer most recently produced NATIONAL TREASURE: BOOK OF SECRETS, DEJA VU, and PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN'S CHEST.
The thriller centers on a shadowy, elite group of British undercover intelligence operatives who are conscripted by a CIA agent to help a weapons scientist defect from Iran.
Author David Ignatius, a Washington Post columnist, wrote the thriller BODY OF LIES, which was adapted for the big screen by William Monahan and directed by Ridley Scott.
INCREMENT will published by WW Norton next year.
