Warner Bros has secured the film rights to Rick Yancey’s “Monstrumoligist” series, reports Variety.
Jessica Postigo will adapt the screenplay from the young-adult horror story which follows Dr. Pellinore Warthrop and his assistant/orphan Will Henry.
Dr. Warthrop studies dangerous creatures and monsters but, in 1888, a nightmarish specimen is carted to the monstrumologist’s home — an anthropuphagi, a vicious man-eating creature without a head.
“The Monstrumologist” was published in 2009. “The Curse of the Wendigo” followed in 2010 before “The Isle of Blood” (2011) and “The Final Descent” (2013).
