Collider reports that Zhang Yimou (Hero, House of the Flying Daggers) is in talks to direct The Parsifal Mosaic, a spy thriller based off the 1982 novel of the same name by Robert Ludlum (Bourne Identity novel series). At this time, there are currently no other names attached to the project.

Here’s a partial novel description (no spoilers), courtesy of Amazon.com: After Agent Havelock watches his partner and lover – double agent Jenna Karas – gunned down by his own agency, he’s decides to quit the agency. Then, in one frantic moment in Rome, he sees Jenna alive. Racing around the globe in search of his beautiful betrayer, he now finds himself marked for death by both U.S. and Russian assassins.

We’ll keep you posted as we hear more.
