Warner Brothers has picked up a treatment titled Leonardo da Vinci and the Soldiers of Forever from producer Adrian Askarieh (who is partnering with Vertigo’s Roy Lee and Doug Davison).
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. Think “National Treasure” and “Raiders of the Lost Ark” by way of “Clash of the Titans.”
Askarieh is producing the project through his Prime Universe banner and came up with the original idea and wrote the treatment. A search for a writer is now under way.

Clint Eastwood is teaming with Brian Grazer and Ron Howard’s Imagine Entertainment for his next directing project, a biopic of controversial FBI director J. Edgar Hoover.
Hoover was instrumental in founding the FBI in 1935 and turned it into an efficient crimefighting organization. He remained its director until his death in 1972, but his sculpted persona was already coming apart at the seams; he employed the FBI to harass political activists and used illegal methods to make secret files on leaders. Many biographies also assert the man was a closeted homosexual and cross-dresser.
The project doesn’t have a studio yet, but Eastwood will likely bring it to Warner Brothers.
