Need a one-stop shop for all the weird, supernatural phenomena that constantly crop up in the world? Welcome to the Musunahi (bless you). Better known as the Museum of SuperNatural History, the web resource for strange, inexplicable and quirky info and discoveries, it's now being considered by DreamWorks as the jumping off point for a movie.

Launched by "curator" Ernest Lupinacci, it's described by the man himself as fulfilling a mission to "be to the paranormal world what National Geographic is to the real world".

Now, according to The Hollywood Reporter](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3i4b406c00b9c5b26553b7ae18c088cff3), producers Walter Parkes and Laurie McDonald are busy exploring ways to turn it into a film.

In what sounds like a cross between Men In Black and The Da Vinci Code (or, and this might pose more of a legal challenge, the US SyFy network's show Warehouse 13, since it covers much of the same territory), the plot would focus on the curator of a real Museum Of SuperNatural History seeking out and protecting the world's biggest secrets.

"On any given day, another ancient temple is uncovered by Google Earth and NASA telescopes come closer to finding intelligent life in the galaxy," Lupinacci tells the trade mag.

"Science is on the verge of cloning extinct creatures, and man and machine are approaching the so-called singularity. These sorts of things all contribute to the enduring fascination and universal appeal of this subject matter. The supernatural is ultimately 'the make-believe you can believe in.' "

Sounds like a pitch to us, and once Parkes and McDonald can find a writer who has the right take on it, they're going to try to get it made.
