Bird May Helm Here There Be Monsters

Director Brad Bird is in talks to take on the history-meets-monsters film "Here There Be Monsters" reports Vulture.


The story follows American Revolutionary War naval hero John Paul Jones as he battles tentacled monsters of the deep with tone similar to the upcoming "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter".

Brian Helgeland wrote the script and Jones is wrongly stripped of his British naval commission and is hired by a shipping magnate to investigate the disappearance of merchant ships in the North Atlantic. Jones and his crew suspect that it's the handiwork of a sea monster and have to fight to survive it.

Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni, Todd Lieberman and David Hoberman are producing the film.
