With a fourth Bourne movie already in the works for Unviersal Pictures, the studio is also moving forward on adapting Robert Ludlum's final complete novel Sigma Protocol, says The Hollywood Reporter. The studio is in final negotiations with Berlin prizewinner Jose Padilha (Elite Squad) to direct the WWII conspiracy vehicle. Matt Holloway and Art Marcum, who penned Iron Man, are signed on to write the script. Production is scheduled to begin in the summer.

Plot Concept: "Sigma" is based on Ludlum's final complete novel, which was published after the prolific author's death. Like the Jason Bourne franchise, another big Universal property, the story involves a modern-day man on the run in Europe from a series of international assassins and agents.

The two plots differ sharply, though, with the latter using a World War II conspiracy and Nazis as a plot hook
