has boarded the biopic “The Good Spy,” about CIA operative Robert Ames, from Oscar-nominated “Paradise Now” and “Omar” director Hany Abu-Assad.
Added Hayes: “We have always endeavored to make an elevated and entertaining spy thriller, but we also want to make the most honest, authentic film possible, and Hany is the perfect filmmaker to help us achieve just that. I’m thrilled to embark on this project with Hany, Scott and the team at Rocket Science & CAA.”
Bird lived as a child in the Beirut embassy and knew Ames as a neighbor. He spent years researching the book, which was praised for its insightful look at the making of a CIA officer and the intrigue of spy operations in the Middle East. Bird’s book “American Prometheus” is now in production under the title “Oppenheimer” with Christopher Nolan directing for Universal Pictures.
