He’s Ready for His Closeup
Mark Felt has closed a deal with Tom Hanks and Universal. Variety is reporting that the studio, Hanks and his partner Gary Goetzman have bought the Felt family’s and John O’Connor’s rights and are going ahead with a picture deal that will presumably make a big-screen flick out of the Vanity Fair piece, Felt’s memoir and Felt and O’Connor’s upcoming book.
