"Hack Attack".
The film will recount the British phone hacking scandal surrounding Rupert Murdoch's media empire. Davies investigated News Corporation and its subsidiary, News International over the course of six years documenting their habit of hacking into voice mails of politicians, actors, and ordinary citizens.
Clooney and Grant Heslov will produce the film.
Production is scheduled to start next year.
Clooney released a statement. "This has all the elements - lying, corruption, blackmail - at the highest levels of government by the biggest newspaper in London. And the fact that it's true is the best part. Nick is a brave and stubborn reporter and we consider it an honor to put his book to film."
