Last week we got the news that Abraham Lincoln would be appearing on screen as a vampire hunter. This week we have learned that Warner Bros. is turning Leonardo da Vinci into an action-adventure hero.
The Hollywood Reporter says the studio has picked up a treatment titled Leonardo da Vinci and the Soldiers of Forever.
Da Vinci, who lived from 1452-1519, was the definitive Renaissance man. He counted sculptor, engineer, architect, mathematician, musician, botanist and writer among his professions and interests. So, really, action hero is only one more thing to add to an already very impressive list. He is, of course, best known for the paintings “Mona Lisa” and “The Last Supper,” and for the “Vitruvian Man” drawing.
According to THR, the project “re-imagines da Vinci as a member of a secret society who falls headlong into a supernatural adventure that pits the man against Biblical demons in a story involving secret codes, lost civilizations, hidden fortresses and fallen angels.”
The studio is reportedly looking for a writer.
