Deadline:
Universal Pictures has acquired an untitled action thriller pitch from Josh Zetumer, with Captivate Entertainment’s Ben Smith and Jeffrey Weiner producing. The deal was generous for a pitch–high six against seven-figures– and the hope is to launch a franchise. There is an intriguing back story to this deal. Zetumer was the young writer that Universal drafted to script a fourth installment of the Bourne Identity franchise, which is produced by Captivate, the Universal-based company which controls the rights to many of the bestsellers by the late author Robert Ludlum.
Nekki has announced that the forthcoming gun fu game, SPINE, will receive a movie adaptation to expand the franchise.
Anthracite Review: This Netflix thriller makes us go down several engaging roads and the twists and turns are delicious.
Stolen Review: Elle Márjá Eira makes an attempt at creating a story revolving Sámi people of Sweden.
If he was working on Bourne writings these have to be pretty good spy movie possibilities. I like this already. I could sit and watch spy thrillers and conspiracies all day long.
