Akiva Goldsman, Michael Bay, and Steven Spielberg have been putting together a group of writers to formulate an ambitious plan for the Transformers movie franchise over at Paramount Pictures. Those writers include Goldsman, Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead), Zak Penn (Pacific Rim), a bunch of nondescript Marvel Studios house writers, and several others. Now comes the seemingly last name -- Steven DeKnight, the former Daredevil and Spartacus showrunner.
These writers will first come up with something for Transformers 5, which Bay intends to direct after finishing his Benghazi conflict film, 13 Hours. Each writer or writing duo will apparently then develop a treatment for spinoffs, sequels, prequels, and animated films centered around the Hasbro IP. God help us all.
DeKnight found early success working on genre shows like Buffy, Angel, and Smallville as a writer, before creating the Starz drama Spartacus. And of course, he was responsible for bringing the Netflix series Daredevil to the finish line after Drew Goddard bowed out of the showrunner seat to work on Sinister Six.
Maybe DeKnight's treatment will be villain-centric:
Are you excited for the new series of Transformers films? How about the addition of DeKnight?
