Universal Studios has acquired the film rights to Daniel Silva's Gabriel Allon series of spy thrillers. Jeff Zucker, the former CEO of NBC Universal, will produce the initial film adaptation — of which title is not known. The studio has acquired all current and future books in the series, the first of which, The Kill Artist, was published in 2001.
Gabriel Allon is semi-retired officer with Israeli intelligence, whose previous cover was (and current profession is) that of a master art restorer with a specialty in Italian old masters.
The most recent book in the series is The Rembrandt Affair, published last summer.
