Dragonology
06/13/08 - Universal has acquired the film rights to the children's book
series Dragonology. Leonard Hartman will write and
executive-produce the adaptation. The books, by Dugald A. Steer, are
based on the conceit that dragons actually exist, as revealed by the
Victorian dragonologist Ernest Drake. An underlying theme is that
dragons should be studied and revered in the same way as any rare
species. Hartman's fantasy-adventure script revolves around a group of
dragonologists who go on a globe-trotting quest to keep a corrupt man
from taking control of the world's dragons and using them to wipe out
humanity.
