The film will center on da Vinci using his inventions to fight supernatural enemies
In a story from Variety, Warner Bros. is beginning development on an action adventure focused on Leonardo da Vinci. They have set it up with Adrian Askarieh via his Prime Universe production company and Roy Lee (The Departed) and Doug Davison at Vertigo Entertainment.

Not much is known about the project except that the film will incorporate da Vinci utilizing his inventions in facing supernatural enemies. The story is based on Askarieh's original idea.

Da Vinci lived from 1452 to 1519. He is considered to be one of the most talented men who ever walked the earth. The artist is best known as a painter of the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper, however he also "was also a mathematician, architect, sculptor, writer, scientist and inventor including concepts for a helicopter, a tank, solar power, a calculator and the double hull."

    "Not much is known about the project except that the film will incorporate da Vinci utilizing his inventions in facing supernatural enemies." WTF? Between this and the Twilight films Hollywood is dying if not dead.

    Once again... what's with all the negativity? This sounds fun! I'd check out a comic or a novel based on this idea, why not a movie? Wait... I get it, you guys were all really really really hoping this would be a Leonardo Da Vinci biopic, right?

    So what they're saying is, it's not really a Leonardo Da Vinci movie at all.

    At first, I didn;t get it...but, DaVinci is such an Amazing artist & inventor that twisting some sort of adventure movie from his endeavors seems...well, exploitable & novel. This could be very interesting and Warner Bros. has the muscle to make this viable & intriguing...
