Brad Pitt's Plan B is producing.
Story centers on the night manager of a European hotel who is recruited by intelligence agents to infiltrate the network of a dangerous international arms dealer.

British author Le Carre, who penned "The Spy Who Came in From the Cold," has seen a number of his espionage novels turned into film and TV projects including 2005's "The Constant Gardener." "Night Manager," first published in 1993, is one of Le Carre's longer and more critically lauded works.
Par-based Plan B has three films in the can: "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee," "The Tree of Life" and "The Time Traveler's Wife."
