Making The Engine Go

Oren Moverman ("The Messenger") will write a script based on the New York Magazine article The Terrorist Search Engine says Deadline.


The article concerned a young counter-terrorism expert witness named Evan Kohlmann who had a skill for sifting through videos, communiques and websites to find terror threats. His testimony led to the conviction of nearly two dozen defendants on terrorist charges, but has also led to claims of him making his living being a "convenient witness" for government lawyers after convictions.

The film is being eyed for "The Social Network"'s Jesse Eisenberg to possibly star

Scott Rudin will produce The Terrorist Search Engine.

Moverman might be directing as well here but for now his deal only covers scripting duties
