Out Hollywood producer Scott Rudin needed to read only two pages from the Guests of the Ayatollah, a book about the Iran hostage crisis, before making a seven-figure deal for the screen rights, reports Daily Variety. Black Hawk Down author Mark Bowden is writing the book, to be published in 2005. Bowden spent five years researching the crisis that occurred when Iranian students stormed the American embassy in 1979 and held its staff hostage for 444 days. This film will concentrate on the hostages and their survival during prolonged captivity. "The deal puts Rudin behind a high-profile nonfiction subject for the first time," Variety reported.
