We'll keep you posted as more becomes available. Most of Ludlum’s books have been adapted into films and television series. He passed on at Naples, Florida in the USA in March 12, 2001. That year marked the end of production of novels written by Ludlum himself.

Here's hoping they can parlay the book into another Bourne-esque hit, as I'd sign up to see the charming, muscled wrestler-turned-funnyman anchor his own spy series (as there are already multiple books in the Paul Janson arc, penned by authors who still draw breath). A total of twenty seven novels got to be published over the years until the year 2000. #JansonDirective #JohnCena #SevenBucksProds #CaptivateEnt #WeedRoadPics #MythologyEnt #UNIVERSALĪ post shared by therock on at 2:07pm PDTįor those of us who are huge fans of Cena (count this writer as one), this is some fun news. And you know first hand how devastating my elbow drops can be ������ Congrats my friend and let’s go make a good one. Thank you for your commitment to the role and remember, as your producer if you screw up, I’m coming to set and droppin’ the People’s Elbow on ya. Congrats man and I’m excited to go on this journey with you. A project that myself, our production partners and Universal Studios have been developing for years now. The announcement came via The Rock's Instagram, where he interrupted his latest selfie to say he's all about that spy game:įound my star! Congrats to my good bud John Cena on landing the lead role for our movie, THE JANSON DIRECTIVE. To win, he must counter it with a conspiracy of his own… To survive, Janson must outrace a conspiracy that has gone beyond the control of its originators.
Now Janson is running for his life, pursued by Jessica Kincaid, a young agent of astonishing ability who can anticipate and counter his every move. But Janson’s rescue operation goes horribly wrong…and soon Janson is marked for death, the target of a “beyond salvage” order issued from the highest level of the government. covert agency Consular Operations – to save him. When billionaire philanthropist Peter Novak is kidnapped by a terrorist known as The Caliph, it’s up to Paul Janson – a legend in the notorious U.S. Here's a quick synopsis of the novel which, if you've ever read Ludlum, comes off like parody: But I kept reading them, because I was a nerd.Īnyway, this is all a bunch of set up for the joke that The Rock is producing an adaptation of Ludlum' posthumously published yet still funnily titled 2002 pulp thriller The Janson Directive, with John Cena set to star. Often times, the jokes were better than the books themselves (which ran on forever and kept introducing more characters than I could keep track of). I'm still stuck on The Chrysanthemum Briefcase." Jacob: "Dad.we both know that's not a real book. Jacob's Dad: "Son, did you read The Philistine Compendium yet?" When it came to the Ludlum novels, there was this running joke in our house about how we could never remember the titles, due to how goofy/interchangeable they all were. But in our family's living room, there was a library of "dad books", which was mostly comprised of Tom Clancy, Robert Ludlum, a few of the Bonds, and a whole bunch of writing on basketball (context: my dad was a coach).
Growing up, I went to the library to read all the Stephen King, Clive Barker, and splatterpunk I could get my hands on.
