David Cronenberg and Robert Ludlum are names one does not find often occupying space in the same sentence. But, word is that Cronenberg’s next project is going to be an adaptation of the bestselling author’s The Materese Circle.
And Tom Cruise might sign on? Excuse me for a second….
Very interesting. The novel’s plot doesn’t sound too promising, though. I mean, does it get more banal?
Only two rival spies—and one mysterious woman—can stop them: Scofield, CIA, and Talaniekov, KGB. They share a genius for espionage—and a life of terror and explosive violence. Sworn enemies, they have vowed to terminate each other—yet now they must become allies. Because only they possess the brutal skills and ice-cold nerves vital to destroy an international circle of killers, the Matarese.
Lemme guess … the “mysterious woman” just happens to be beautiful. And deadly! But, with Cronenberg at the helm, perhaps this will be something worth watching. Discuss.
