TRANSFORMERS Spinoff Writers Found; THE WALKING DEAD's Robert Kirkman Among Them
The Transformers franchise is about to get a whole lot bigger, with plans for new instalments in the main series and a number of spinoffs. A writer's room has been created to tackle these, and along with the creator of The Walking Dead, they've found some great talent...
It was revealed a little earlier this year that Paramount and their Transformers brain trust (made up of Michael Bay, Steven Spielberg, and Lorenzo di Bonaventura) had turned to Akiva Goldsman to come up with ideas for new instalments of the main Transformers franchise along with a number of spinoffs. Part of that including creating a writer's room, and it has some very impressive names!
According to Deadline, it will be made up of The Walking Dead's Robert Kirkman, Iron Man writers Art Marcum and Matt Holloway, Zak Penn (The Incredible Hulk), and Jeff Pinkner (ugh, The Amazing Spider-Man 2). It's too early to say who will be working on what, but it looks like we're going to be getting an entire cinematic universe of Transformers movies. That's hardly a surprise after the success of the franchise, and it's going to be very interesting to see how this develops! Thoughts?
