Universal Pictures has acquired a pitch called "Colombian Gold," reports The Hollywood Reporter
Based on a New Yorker magazine article with filmmaker Miguel Arteta attached to develop and direct.
The project, inspired by writer Fredric Dannen's nonfiction article, is described as a murder mystery set in the world of money laundering in New York City. It follows a laundering ring that is under investigation by the FBI, centering on a sympathetic woman who joins the investigation only to get in deeper than she had anticipated -- in both the crime ring and a love triangle.
