Jerry Bruckheimer has acquired film rights to THE INCREMENT, an upcoming novel by David Ignatius - an editor & columnist at the Washington Post.

Title refers to a shadowy, elite group of British undercover intelligence operatives who are conscripted by a CIA agent to help a weapons scientist defect from Iran.

[edit]

The material is very dark, and the fact that an Iran invasion is woven into the plot could be a potential hot potato by the time the book is developed into a film.
