Deadline.com has reported that Sony Pictures has signed Brian Taylor to write and direct a live-action movie of Twisted Metal.
Brian Taylor apparently signed a 7-figure deal to make the film. If you’ve never heard of him, he’s worked on Jason Statham’s “Crank” films and is directing the upcoming Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance just to name a few. Avi Arad has been tapped to produce the film. He’s famous for producing a ton of Marvel movies including the Spider-Man movie trilogy.
The film is set to include some of the key characters from the game such as iconic clown Sweet Tooth. It’s also going to be faithful to the game as it will still focus on heavy vehicular combat.
