New Trailer for MONSTER TRUCKS – A Film Based on an Idea from a 4-Year-Old Kid
Paramount Pictures has released a new trailer for Nickelodeon's strange looking family adventure film Monster Trucks. This is a movie where the main idea is that a big alien-type creature can live inside and somehow power old trucks. It's an absolutely ridiculous concept, but it could prove to be a fun movie. Here's the synopsis:
Looking for any way to get away from the life and town he was born into, Tripp (Lucas Till), a high school senior, builds a Monster Truck from bits and pieces of scrapped cars. After an accident at a nearby oil-drilling site displaces a strange and subterranean creature with a taste and a talent for speed, Tripp may have just found the key to getting out of town and a most unlikely friend.
Melding cutting edge visual effects and state-of-the-art CGI, Monster Trucks is an action filled adventure for the whole family that will keep you on the edge of your seat and ultimately touch your heart.
I don't know if you know this or not, but the idea for this film came from the 4-year-old son of the former president of Paramount's film group. and the studio dropped $125 million dollars on the development of it. The studio isn't expecting the film to do well because they already announced that they will take a $115 million write-down on it.
Regardless how they think the film is going to do, my kids are very excited about seeing it, and as strange as it looks, I think it could be an entertaining flick that at least the kids will enjoy.
The movie was directed by Chris Wedge and stars Lucas Till, Jane Levy, Holt McCallany, Barry Pepper, Tucker Albrizzi, Danny Glover, Amy Ryan, Rob Lowe, Frank Whaley, and Thomas Lennon.
Monster Trucks hits theaters on January 13, 2017.
