News on 6 (Oklahoma) interviewed Eric Maddox.
Now, the story is about to go public in a very mainstream way. Maddox wrote a book a couple of years ago. You probably haven’t seen much of it, but a movie studio immediately bought the rights.
Robert Pattinson, of Twilight fame, has signed on to play Maddox, and the screenplay is being done by the writer behind “Band of Brothers”.
Shooting begins this August.
Meanwhile, Donald Rumsfeld was so eager to keep Maddox’s services, that he established a civilian force of interrogators, hiring Maddox as the very first one.
His work for the Department of Defense continues to this day.

Missionblacklistfrance got the chance to interview the screenwriter for Misson: Blacklist‘s – Dylan Kussman. Here are the parts in which he mentions Rob and the movie.
Tell us about your work for Mission: Blacklist and how you ended up being a part of this project?
“I became involved with Mission: Blacklist when head writer and Executive Producer Erik Jendresen contacted me about contributing to the project. At the time, he and his co-writer Trace Sheehan were deeply immersed in adapting Staff Sergeant Maddox’s book, Mission: Black List #1, and were looking for an additional voice to help flesh out the main character and structure his remarkable story as a movie. It was an honor to be asked to collaborate with two such accomplished and well-respected writers, on a story with such an incredible pedigree, and I accepted without a moment’s hesitation.”
