Universal Pictures has optioned the remake rights to writer-director Donovan Marsh's South African crime thriller, iNumber Number.  Premiering at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival, iNumber Number centered on an "honest undercover officer who, after he's cheated from a major promotion, crosses over from cop to robber in order to orchestrate a major heist that he hopes will be a one-way ticket to easy street. Things go awry when the gang discovers his true identity and take his partner hostage."  Marsh will neither write nor direct the remake; Universal is looking for a new writer.

Synopsis:

Adroitly written and directed by South African filmmaker Donovan Marsh, this action-packed heist thriller — about a pair of cops battling corrupt colleagues as well as a gang of armoured-car thieves — boasts an oddball cast that brings comic relief to the ruthless thuggery.
