Universal Adapting Steer's DRAGONOLOGY

It's been 12 years since Universal Pictures released Dragon Heart and the studio is ready to jump back into the dragon mythology once again. HR is reporting that the studio has bought the rights to Dugald A. Steer's faux non-fiction children's book series Dragonology. Scribe Leonard Hartman has been tapped to both write and executive produce the first adaptation of the series.

Plot Concept: Based around the premise
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 take revolves around a group of dragonologists who go on a globetrotting quest to keep a corrupt man from taking control of the world's dragons and using them to wipe out humanity.

LOL Rick!

I love me some dragons. I'll probably see this, for no other reason than it's about dragons. I hope it at least has *some* sort of plot, and decent f/x. I can always hope...

Well they have a unicorn (actually a mutant roe deer) in Italy so why not dragons?

Dragonheart was pretty good, Reign of Fire was awesome, and Dragon Wars had good effects, but the movie sucked......I am not so sure people are interested in Dragons as a main focal point of a movie because all of those movies did not do well.....I just wish they would make a movie out of the Pierce Anthony book series, Split Infinity.
