Universal Pictures are moving forward in adapting ‘The Sigma Protocol' from author Robert Ludlum (The Bourne novels), into possibly a new franchise. Sigma was the last thriller Ludlum wrote before he passed away.

I think Matt Damon is free for a new franchise...

The project has been in development at Universal since 2002. Irwin Winkler and Jose Ruisanchez are to write the script.

The novel focuses on a man who, while vacationing in Switzerland, runs into an old friend. He watches as the guy turns homicidal and guns down six people. The vacationer then gets plunged into a conspiracy and runs for his life. A female federal agent is following the clues, and might be the ordinary guy's only hope of survival from a ruthless assassin.
“What we are really hoping to do is create a franchise, built around this ordinary guy who gets caught up in international intrigue, and who teams with this operative who is declared a rogue by the CIA,” said Winkler. “Unlike Bourne, who is a trained assassin, this is an innocent guy traveling in Europe who gets in way over his head. And it has all the great Ludlum intrigue.”
