Sony Pictures Plans Movie About Yours Truly
Summary: Sony Pictures has picked up the rights to a New York Times article about security blogger Brian Krebs, with Richard Wenk, who wrote Sony's version of The Equalizer, on board to write a cyber-thriller inspired by the piece. The Times profile described Eastern European cybercriminals stealing Krebs's identity a half dozen times in a year, bringing down his website, sending fecal matter and heroin to his doorstep, and calling a SWAT team to his home.
What's compelling: The source material for the film is a reporter targeted by the criminals he covers: identity theft six times in a year, a downed website, mailed heroin, and a SWAT team at his door - a reminder that writing about cybercrime carries physical-world consequences.
