Scripts on the Go

As Folk) for 3Geez Productions recently acquired script, The Cheese
Monkeys, Chip Kidd's debut novel. This adaptation will follow a group
of art students through their first two semesters at college.
One of Robert Ludlum's last books, Sigma Protocol, has just been
picked up by Universal Pictures and they have just signed on the team of

A worldwide conspiracy involving an American investor who seemingly finds himself in the arbitrary crosshairs of a team of assassins, a dead brother and a CIA agent who is investigating eleven random murders from across the globe are the center of Sigma Protocol. The investor and CIA agent collide, only to find that they must team up together to solve this highly intense action thriller, all the while the team of assassins are chasing them around the globe.
Universal Pictures released a statement saying that this Ludlum adaptation is 'top priority'. Ferris and Brancato are expected to finalize the script very soon so that production can get under way.
