Disney developing Charles Darwin adventure movie

June 26, 2015 by Gary Collinson

Deadline is reporting that Disney has snapped up an untitled pitch from Oscar-winning screenwriter Stephen Gaghan (Traffic), who is set to write and direct an adventure film based around the English naturalist and evolutionary theorist Charles Darwin.

The site reports that the movie will likely focus on Darwin’s formative years, where he embarked on a five year voyage to South America aboard the HMS Beagle.

Darwin appeared on the big screen as recently as 2009, with Paul Bettany portraying him in the biographical drama Creation, while he also featured in Aardman Animations’ The Pirates! Band of Misfits, where he was voiced by David Tennant.
