Writer-Director Neil Burger boasts quite a diverse catalog of films, ranging from sci-fi action flicks like Divergent and Limitless to the romantic mystery period film The Illusionist and the psychological crime thriller adaptation The Marsh King's Daughter. His latest, Inheritance, now takes him into the world of spy thrillers, following a woman who discovers her father's past in espionage, unknowingly thrusting her into the heart of an international conspiracy.

The other, meanwhile, is based on a true story following an unlikely trailblazer in the field of mathematics named Christopher Havens. A dropout from high school, Havens is currently still serving time in prison on a 25-year murder sentence. During his time behind bars, he became enraptured in number theory and began working on what is now an entirely new branch of mathematics.

Burger's Christopher Havens Biopic May Still Be a Ways Off Close While Burger is confident the team has a good angle, it has remained a challenge to get the Havens biopic into full swing."These days, it's hard to get dramas made," he added."Nobody wants to fund them.
