Ron Bass has been tapped to adapt the Nicholas Sparks best-seller "True Believer," while Bo Goldman is writing the adaptation of the remake of the 1955 heist film "Rififi" - both for Stone Village Prods says The Hollywood Reporter.

The supernatural love story "Believer" follows a writer for Scientific American who debunks myths and frauds but finds himself questioning his cynicism when he travels to a small town in North Carolina and falls for the granddaughter of the town psychic.

"Rififi" tells the story of a career thief who, upon leaving prison, discovers his wife has left him and finds himself returning to crime with a planned jewelry store heist. The remake will reteam Al Pacino with director Walt Becker, both of who worked together in "Sea of Love" and "City Hall".
