It is unclear how Johnson’s character will figure into the future installments.
The treatments will then be adapted into screenplays by scribes yet to be hired. On top of writing Janson, Vanderbilt, who worked with Johnson when he co-wrote the actor’s early action movie, 2003’s The Rundown, will co-author two more stories/treatments based on the Ludlum books, which have not been named, giving shape to the action universe. The new deal seeks to give cohesion to the individual titles, bringing them under one umbrella and giving them crossover points. The Parsifal Mosaic, The Sigma Protocol and Covert One are among them, and the shingle had already been actively developing Janson.
Universal had been working with Captivate on bringing to the screen many of the spy thrillers penned by Ludlum, who died in 2001 and whose books have sold around 300 million copies. ( Goldsman is no stranger to cinematic universes, as he is overseeing the formation of a Transformers cinematic universe and one based on Hasbro toy properties.) Vanderbilt will adapt Janson Directive from a story co-authored with Academy Award-winner Akiva Goldsman.
