SaysWho? Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 ‘Twisted Metal’ Series From ‘Deadpool’ Writers in the Works at Sony Pictures TV, PlayStation Productions VARIETY.COM A series adaptation of the "Twisted Metal" PlayStation game franchise is officially moving forward, Variety has learned. Quote Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation Productions are developing a series based on the “Twisted Metal” vehicular combat games, the first of which was released in 1995. It was originally reported in 2019 that Sony was interested in developing a series based on the games. The new series is described as an action comedy, based on an original take by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, the writers behind the “Deadpool” films and “Zombieland.” “’Twisted Metal’ is one of the most beloved franchises from PlayStation,” said Asad Qizilbash, head of PlayStation Productions. “We are thrilled to have such a great team working on bringing this iconic game to life for the fans.” Quote The show is about a motor-mouthed outsider who is 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 named who drives an all too familiar ice cream truck, whom fans of the game will know as Sweet Tooth.

Greatoneshere Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I'm intrigued - but they have to go full fucked up, whacked out, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heydude93 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Tbf the twilight zone/horror anthology story in TWB was something special at the time. Seems like there's potential, but I'd sooner just see an action movie and/or pestiege TV storytelling approach in the form of cutscenes in an upcoming game.

TheLeon Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 What’s the old saying? “Strike while the iron is hot.” Well, the Twisted Metal brand is more relevant now than ever, so this just makes sense! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh? They haven't made a new Twisted Metal game since 2012. How is it more relevant now? Twisted Metal 2012 sold so bad they haven't made another game. That's also the reason why they killed the movie. Imo the series was only relevant back in 1996. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
