It's a great story, rather challenging to make into an interesting/captivating film. The script (3/25/2010) is good, but it lacked some of the intriguing details provided by the original article in Wired. I'm hoping some were added back in when they got to production. Actually, I suppose it makes sense to drop those details in the early stages of the process because they can screw up the read. Too much for a reader who only has the words on the page. But in the actual movie, I think they can work well.

Haven't read the script, but from the trailer, this one looks like it's gonna have dialogue that crackles. I'm digging the tone, too -- not the usual super-tense, political thriller vibe (which is what I thought it would be from the "logline") but something quite hip. Of course, trailers being hipper, more fun, and generally cooler than the movies themselves is nothing new.

The article was thrilling. It was in Wired. You can read it on-line I think.
