'Finally': John Edwards, the movie!

(N.Y. Daily News) - Is "West Wing" creator Aaron Sorkin looking to turn the John Edwards sex scandal into a movie? We hear Sorkin is among those talking with William Morris Endeavor uberagent Ari Emanuel about optioning "The Politician," the best-selling memoir by former Edwards aide Andrew Young. Reps for Sorkin and Emanuel didn't get back to us. Young says: "I've heard a lot of strong names. I'd be honored if Aaron Sorkin is one of them." Young says he has not shown Emanuel the infamous tape of Edwards having sex with Rielle Hunter, the mother of his daughter Quinn. Contrary to some reports, Hunter is said to be telling friends she was not pregnant during the recorded romp. Young says he has turned over all copies of the tape to a judge in North Carolina, but he still doesn't think Hunter is entitled to them. "She clearly abandoned that property at my house," he argues. "I don't plan on doing anything with it. But when someone attacks you, you lose incentive to be nice to them."
