You may or you may not have seen but I have just read an article on Variety.com's website as I saw a headline about Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson joining the cast of a Robert Ludlum film on IMDb.com's website and it then suddenly disappeared...so naturally I googled this just to see if my eyes weren't deceiving me and I wasn't going crazy and this is apparently true.
According to an article on Variety.com's website Jeffrey Weiner, Captive Entertainment, Brad Fischer, James Vanderbilt, William Sherak and Mythology Entertainment have closed a deal with Universal Studios to produce a collective universe based on the best selling novels of Robert Ludlum, (who you may or may not wrote and created the "Jason Bourne" series) the first film that has been developed for this universe is Robert Ludlum's "The Janson Directive".
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will star in this as well as executive produce this along with Danny Garcia and their Seven Bucks Productions company, Tracey Nyberg of Mythology Entertainment, Seven Bucks Productions' Hiram Garcia, Captive Entertainment's Smith and Jeffrey Weiner and Mythology Entertainment's James Vanderbilt along with Brad Fischer and William Sherak and Akiva Goldsman will also produce this first film.
If you like me haven't read these books the story follows a former spook now turned best private security consultant in the world being framed for a horrendous crime and in order to survive he must team up with the protégé sent to kill him.
To tie in with this universe James Vanderbilt will co-author two more stories which will be adapted into screenplays.
