The writer of Man Of Steel is making a movie where Sir Isaac Newton fights crime
Warner Bros. has acquired the rights to Principia, a historical thriller centered on Sir Isaac Newton hunting down a notorious criminal. Deadline reports that screenwriter David S. Goyer is producing the project on the strength of a pitch by Christian Contreras. This is not the first time the scientific great has been reimagined as a gun-toting badass, because no one cares about scientists unless they also kick ass and/or are played by Jeff Goldblum.
