The Hollywood Reporter says that Universal Pictures has picked up the rights to graphic novel 2 Guns from Boom Studios. The project will be produced by Marc Platt via his Marc Platt Productions along with Boom co-founders Andrew Cosby and Ross Richie.

Written by Steven Grant, the novel followed a DEA agent and an undercover naval intelligence officer who are unwittingly investigating each other and who steal mob money for the good guys. They later realize that the mob actually got them to steal $50 million from the CIA.

It is said to be like those buddy cop movies, but will have a modern spin to it.
