The small screen adaptation hails
from Legendary Entertainment and writer Wes Tooke, who served as showrunner on USA Network’s “Colony” and worked on Amazon’s “Jean-Claude Van Johnson.”
The logline for “The Parsifal Mosaic” reads, “After years of dangerous field work for the CIA, Michael Havelock (Worthington) is ready to get out of the game when he learns that his partner Jenna Karas (Carson) — secretly the love of his life — has betrayed him, and begins unravelling a powerful conspiracy that reaches around the globe.”
A film adaptation of “The Parsifal Mosaic” was announced to be in development at Universal Pictures in 2009, with Ron Howard attached to direct. A few years later, Zhang Yimou was in talks to direct, but the project ultimately failed to take off.
