Renowned artist and inventor Leonardo Da Vinci will soon be able to add ‘action-hero’ to his repertoire. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros plan to give Da Vinci his own big-screen outing, having picked up a treatment entitled Leonardo Da Vinci and the Soldiers of Forever, from producer Adrian Askarieh.
Askarieh will team with Vertigo’s Roy Lee and Doug Davison to produce an adventure involving Da Vinci along with secret codes, lost civilizations, and biblical demons amongst others, which conjures up images of Indiana Jones crossed with a certain Dan Brown book which happens to carry the hero’s moniker.
Da Vinci was certainly a man of many talents. Warner Bros are betting that ass-kicking of the highest order was among them. Hasta Da Vinci, baby.
