Los Angeles, watch out! Warner Bros. Pictures is about to unleash some dinosaur action on the streets of L.A. with this new project that the studio just picked up. This untitled pitch was originally developed as a web series, but now, it may see big screen time.

According to Deadline, Warner Bros.
