Quote:
Universal Pictures is assembling the supernatural movie The Knights Templar, picking up a spec script from Adam Torchia and Justin Stanley for Marc Platt and Russian Wanted helmer Timur Bekmambetov to produce, Variety reported.
The 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.
Torchia works as an assistant story editor in Universal's story department, where he's spent the past 10 years. He sold the script Strange Magic to Alcon Entertainment last year.
Platt will produce Knights Templar through his Marc Platt Productions banner, while Bekmambetov will shepherd the project through his Bazelevs Productions with Jim Lemley.
Bekmambetov helmed the Russian hits Night Watch and Day Watch, as well as Universal's upcoming SF actioner Wanted, which bows June 27. (Universal is owned by NBC Universal, which also owns SCIFI.COM.)
