'Knights -vs- Vampires' Say The Writers. 'SOLD!' Says The Exec!!
|
Universal has picked up a spec script by Adam Torchia and Justin Stanley; Marc Platt and Timur Bekmambetov (director of WANTED,NIGHT WATCH, and DAY WATCH) will produce.
It's called THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR.
Plot puts a horror spin on the famed organization of fighters from the Middle Ages, with the Knights Templar, fresh from the Crusades, forced to fend off an invading vampire army set on destroying the Holy Grail.
...says THIS ARTICLE in Hollywood Reporter.
When I told my 14 year old son the premise, the first thing he asked was "Is this a Sci Fi Channel movie?" Which, really, is a valid observation. None the less, knights & vampires don't sound at all disagreeable in principle. Curious to see how this one shakes out.
