Olympus whistleblower eyes movie deal

Michael Woodford, the former chief executive-turned whistleblower of Japan’s Olympus, is close to signing a movie deal with the British film production company run by the sons of spy thriller author John le Carri.

Woodford, summarily fired last year after raising the alarm over US$1.7 billion of shady Olympus payments, said he had yet to sign the deal with The Ink Factory, noting there was also interest from other parties.

But he said: “I probably will commit to this because I like the way they do things.”
