Mark Bomback (Race to Witch Mountain) will adapt Ben Macintyre’s WWII spy drama Agent Zigzag into a film for New Line and Tom Hank’s Playtone label.
It will tell the story of Edward Arnold Chapman, a career criminal who was trained by the Nazis to be a spy during WWII. On a mission to sabotage an airplane factory in England, he contacts the Brits and began a life as a double agent.
The film is being produced by Hanks himself and Gary Goetzman.
