The novel is a true-life story of the author, a former Army medic who returned from Iraq with extreme undiagnosed PTSD, fell into an opioid addiction and began robbing banks.
Walker was caught and convicted in 2011 and is scheduled to be released in 2020.
"We were drawn to 'Cherry' given our personal experience from Cleveland, as well as the important need to share stories like these. As Cleveland natives ourselves, it means a lot to us to be able to film in our hometown. We shot the exteriors for 'Winter Soldier' here, we are excited to return home to our roots," said Anthony and Joe Russo.
Jessica Goldberg has adapted the critically-acclaimed novel along with Angela Otstot.
The film is currently under production.
