Fri, February 13, 2009 
Variety reports that Universal are in negotiatians for the rights to Robert Ludlum thriller 'The Parsifal Mosaic', which is one of 25 titles by the author that are yet to be optioned for the screen.
Below is a synopsis of the book:
"The Parsifal Mosaic" revolves around a U.S. intelligence agent who thinks he witnesses the execution of his lover, who was identified as a KGB double agent. He retires, but sees her alive at a train station and attempts to find her and unravel a conspiracy. Soon, the agents become involved in an effort to track down Parsifal, a shadowy figure behind a blackmail scheme.
Sounds like the makings of a decent thriller and oddly this was a book Bourne producer Frank Marshall had talked about using as a basis for the fourth film in that franchise, however it now appears they are going with an origfinal idea and 'The Parsifal Mosaic' will be made into a movie of it's own, it may also beat Bourne 4 out of the gates as Universal are expected to fast track the project.
