Variety are reporting today that Warner Bros. is working on brining Rick Yancey’s four-book series, The Monstrumologist, to the big screen. According to the report, Jessica Postigo (The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones) will pen the first movie which could spin off into a franchise.
The Monstrumologist was followed by The Curse of Wendigo, The Isle of Blood and The Final Descent which was released last year.
Here’s the official synopsis of the The Monstrumologist:
These are the secrets I have kept. This is the trust I never betrayed. But he is dead now and has been for nearly ninety years, the one who gave me his trust, the one for whom I kept these secrets. The one who saved me . . . and the one who cursed me.
So starts the diary of Will Henry, orphan and assistant to a doctor with a most unusual speciality: monster hunting. In the short time he has lived with the doctor, Will has grown accustomed to his late night callers and dangerous business. But when one visitor comes with the body of a young girl and the monster that was feeding on her, Will’s world is about to change forever. The doctor has discovered a baby Anthropophagi–a headless monster that feeds through the mouthfuls of teeth in its chest–and it signals a growing number of Anthropophagi. Now, Will and the doctor must face the horror threatening to overtake and consume our world before it is too late.
More news as it comes in.
