There's Reportedly a TWISTED METAL Series in Development At PlayStation Productions
It was recently revealed that Sony planned on adapting many of its video game properties into films and TV series through a new division called PlayStation Productions. One of the first projects that they are reportedly working on is a series adaptation of Twisted Metal!
The news was revealed during a Sony Pictures investor relations meeting and it was shared by a user on ResetEra who said the project was brought up by Sony Pictures’ CEO and chairman Tony Vinciquerra. Several other outlets and social media accounts are also reporting the news. Sony has yet to make an official public announcement, but I hope that this is all true!
I grew up playing Twisted Metal on PlayStation. My brothers and I loved that game and got a lot of our aggression out while playing it! The game was filled with vehicular combat, lots of explosions, gunfire, heavy metal, carnage, and the sounds of roaring motors.
It’ll be interesting to see how they end up bringing this game to life for a series and what kind of story the creative team tells. There have been attempts in the past to adapt the game into a movie. At one point Nicolas Cage was going to play Sweet Tooth!
If this actually happens I hope that the Mad Max films end up being the inspiration for it because the two franchises actually have a lot in common.
What are your thoughts on the possibility of a Twisted Metal series? What would you like to see from it?
