Proto-Matters

The planned cinematic adaptation of the late Robert Ludlum's "The Sigma Protocol" is picking up speed reports Variety

Art Marcum and Matt Holloway will write The Sigma screenplay and will get to work on it before their commitments to pen a "Highlander" remake.

The story revolves around an American economist who becomes the target of professional assassins. When a U.S. intelligence agent investigating his case finds herself discredited, the two end up on the run and uncover a multinational conspiracy manipulating the global economy and world events.

There's always a lot of running around in a Ludlum book making them ripe to be translated on film.
