John Edwards' big affair is going to hit the big screen.
Andrew Young, the estranged aide who wrote a tell-all book about the former senator's sexcapades with mistress, and baby mama, Rielle Hunter, said he has sealed a movie deal with producer Aaron Sorkin.
Sorkin, best known for creating the television series "The West Wing," confirmed that he obtained the rights to Young's book, "The Politician," the Associated Press reported.
"This is a first-hand account of an extraordinary story filled with motivations, decisions and consequences that would have lit Shakespeare up," Sorkin said in a statement. "There's much more to Andrew's book than what has been reported and I'm grateful that he's trusting me with it."
Young said the job was perfect for Sorkin.
"I was really impressed by him and really impressed how he was focused on the tragedy of this rather than the tawdry," said Young who declined to guess who might play the leading roles.
