New York Times' Andrew Sorkin Sells Movie Rights For Too Big To Fail

New York Times reporter Andrew Sorkin will finally see his book on the recent financial crisis play out on screen.

HBO has bought the rights to Too Big To Fail and is moving forward with the project despite the fact that two of Sorkin’s colleagues and proposed co-writers, fellow New York Times writer Joe Nocera and Vanity Fair writer Bethany McLean, failed to turn in their respective manuscripts on time. The two had been working together on another, related book that HBO had hoped to fold into the movie.
