Twisted Metal -(Live-Action Tv Series) Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick

[Himmel]

The Twisted Metal video game is getting a TV adaptation.

Will Arnett is to exec produce the TV adaptation, which is based on an original take from Deadpool writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick and will be written by Cobra Kai’s Michael Jonathan Smith.

The project comes from Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation Productions, which previously teamed up on The Last of Us, the Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann adaptation starring Pedro Pascal that landed at HBO.

Twisted Metal has included five video games across PS One, PS2 and PS3. It first came out in 1995.

The action comedy follows a motor-mouthed outsider offered a chance at a better life, but only if he can successfully deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With the help of a trigger-happy car thief, he’ll face savage marauders driving vehicles of destruction and other dangers of the open road, including a deranged clown who drives an all too familiar ice cream truck.

Arnett will exec produce via his production company Electric Avenue, along with Marc Forman and Peter Principato/Artists First, Smith, Reese, Wernick, Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan. [x]

That's probably the most interesting way they could have taken on the games premise instead of making it about a global destruction tournament with a magical "Make a wish" ending they made it about a guy driving across country with a package that everyone is after. I wonder if the package is being delivered to Calypso?

[i007spectre]

So filming wrapped. Just wonder how there haven't been any leaks on car designs during shooting.

[tcripe]

Isnt this going to be on Peacock? If so its going to be DOA.

[i007spectre]

Any clue when this will release. There's absolutely no media or press about it. And I can only find one image and no clue if it is legit.

Horrible poster. Hope the trailer is good.

I'm sure it's going to be horrible, but I could actually see the series working if it ran off a Running Man style premise. The series always had a vague story (prize being wishes that mostly go bad), but I actually could see it working, not for long though, definitely would be a short lived show.
