Sony Pictures are reportedly negotiating a “7-figure deal” with Ghost Rider co-director Brian Taylor to write and direct a big screen adaptation of the Twisted Metal series. Taylor is no stranger to high-octane action having worked on both Crank movies, 2009′s Gamer and the recent adaptation of Jonah Hex. Marvel producers Avi and Ari Arad are also reported to be involved in the project. The pair are apparently working on an Uncharted movie too, so another Sony tie-in wouldn’t be all that surprising.
Fans of the series will probably hold some reservation over Taylor’s involvement- most of his movies have been distinctly average – but they’ll probably still harbour some hope if original creators David Jaffe and Scott Campbell could somehow lend their hands.
Nothing is known about the adaptation at present, but it’s safe to say that series icon Sweet Tooth will be making an obligatory appearance. His synonymy with the game’s brand simply demands it. Interestingly, the newest Twisted Metal title – which was recently launched on the PS3- used a heavily stylised pulp-horror aesthetic that could conceivably be borrowed by its future big screen brother.
From an overall perspective though, it seems risky for Sony to be dropping seven figures on a popular but still relatively niche video game franchise- especially after forecasting a $2.9 billion dollar loss for the full year. Of course it’s important to cultivate brands across multiple mediums, but surely there are more focused and secure ways of investing such a large amount of money?
Interesting…
Really?
really excited for this!
THIS IS SO AWESOME!!
A TM movie? Hope David Jaffe is cool with it.
I think he is.
Here are the reasons why I think this :
He makes to a lot of smart ass remarks.
You can frequently listen to him giggling like a school girl in the back again ground.
He usually cracks jokes as an alternative of calling the game.
He also gets gamers mixed up.
He is also very biased with people he has coached.
Kayy so ive been watching some episodes of Kyle XY and i just arrived throughout the a single exactly where Brian Taylor claims to be Jesse’s father(episode 15)…and she doesnt have a father simply because she was created… so im like wtf? im assuming he is tricking everybody but Nicole and her household already know the reality about jesse so im just truly perplexed proper now. Can any individual help me out? btw i dont want any significant spoilers about the future.
Ok so I am attempting to compose Sony a long, polite, well thought out letter humbly asking that they think about putting their old animated series “The True Ghostbusters” on Seasonal DVD sets, which, even with well-liked need they’ve neglected to do. I’ve been making an attempt to google the appropriate tackle and the proper individuals it really should be dealt with to but I’m getting conflicting reports. What would be the greatest way to get the folks who counts eyes to see this letter? Is there an e-mail comments/suggestions that I have not found? In Any Other Case who and in which must these kinds of a letter be sent? Thanks for reading.

I’ve been making an attempt to google the correct handle and the appropriate folks it must be tackled to but I’m obtaining conflicting reports.

PS I’m aware that in spite of all of my efforts stated letter may not probably achieve its meant focus on or get its supposed objective, nevertheless I’d just like to make certain I’ve at minimum sent and tackled explained ask for accurately so I can say I at least produced an effort. University often taught me that 1 polite well thought out letter is equal to 1000 folks in corporate eyes.

Hello Mr. Avi Arad,
I would like to meet with you in L.A regarding a new Hollywood production of a fantasy movie.
Attached the synopsis of the screenplay, ZODHUMAN. An adventure movie about the Zodiac super powers.
Thank you,

ZODHUMAN
Genre: Fantasy for the entire family.
The movie exposes the super powers of the Zodiac signs.
While Leo becomes Super Leo and Taurus becomes Super Taurus, the plot of the movie unfolds four distinct story lines about the lives and challenges of teenagers from different cultures and eras, integrated into the adventures of the Zodiac’s super powers. Zac is the last Zodhuman alive who survives the destruction of his home planet, Orazode, after his half brother Shaffelle becomes a servant of Caidoz, an evil wizard and the Zodiac’s worst villain. Zac travels in time and recruits a team of teenagers, on their 16th birthdays, to help him protect the Zodiac energy.

hes gay and has no friends
I think if only the great minds of Hollywood where left alone to choose our country’s leaders, this would be a great country, one worth being proud of. After all, most Americans are too busy watching movies, sit-coms and reality TV to know any better.
Could our next president maybe mandate that only Screen Actors Guild card carriers be allowed to vote in future elections?
I know that in untouchable taylor told reed it’s all lies what they were saying about her. But what happend to her?????? Why did she erupt into tears all the time? What was the fight with Noelle about???? and Where and Why did she go???????????? Please answer. I’ve been drivivng myself NUTS.
who u think is more good looking TAYLOR KITSCH ,ALEX VAGGO or BRIAN Mc MULLEN
Who do you think is the running back out of Brian Westbrook or Fred Taylor overall
I must ask this question, is there anyone who does not think the song is not a masterpiece? I can’t imagine anyone not being moved by the lyrics in that song. Freddie Mercury, really touched me with the words in that song. Also was the original version the first break through in music videos?
Who would you like to see as their lead singer?
I would like to see one of two people: David Bowie or Steve Perry.
BQ: What would you want the name of the band to be?
Annoying? Stupid? Funny?
I think it’s all of the above.
Do not like Darcy however no no.
I would like to have some songs from Queen’s Brian May & Roger Taylor.
I’ve looked everywhere I could, including The Royal Legend, obviously Queen’s best website for Guitar Tabs.
I need Brian May’s “Resurrection”, “I’m Scared”, “Rollin’ Over”, “The Guv’nor” & “Dream Of Three”.
Roger Taylor’s “Is It Me ?” (The most important one), “Believe In Yourself”, “Everybody Hurts Sometime”, “Loneliness”, “Dear Mr. Murdoch”, “Old Friends”, “Beautiful Dreams”, “Abandon Fire”, “I Cry For You”, “Man On Fire” & “Future Management”.
Freddie Mercury’s “Your Kind Of Lover” & “Foolin’ Around”.
The Cross’, Roger Taylor’s band, “On Top Of The World Ma”.
And finally…
Queen’s “Chinese Torture”.
I know I want a lot, but millions of people on the internet might be able to help me I guess…
Thank you very much !
And what would Taylor have thought of McLaren? You can put your answer in my previous question about postmodernity–I’m asking another question along the same line to get more input on this postmodernity thing
Meh, never mind. Answer it HERE. The expiration ran out on the last question. But you can read it if you don’t know what I’m talking about in this question!
