David S Goyer, who has written and produced next year\u2019s clashing superhero blockbuster Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, will be producing a new historical thriller called Principia, focused on\u00a0Isaac Newton<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Deadline<\/a>, the plot sees mathematician and physicist Newton on the hunt for a criminal four centuries ago. Newton spent a surprising amount of his life devoted to solving crimes, tracking down counterfeiters in particular. The title is a reference to his book\u00a0Philosophi\u00e6 Naturalis Principia Mathematica<\/a>, which laid the foundations for classical mechanics.<\/p>\n

Warner Bros acquired the project from a pitch by Christian Contreras, an actor who\u2019s played small roles in Zero Dark Thirty and Fury, and he is now writing the script. Contreras has also written Labyrinth, a drama about Tupac and the Notorious B.I.G. which is currently being developed.<\/p>\n

Goyer has also written the scripts for\u00a0Man of Steel<\/a>\u00a0and Batman Begins and directed horror film The Unborn in 2009. Newton has been the subject of TV docudrama Isaac Newton: The Last Magician, where he was played by Jonathan Hyde. A previous attempt to turn Newton into an action hero was announced back in 2012 by Fast & Furious director Rob Cohen but it failed to materialise.<\/p>\n
