Reports are coming that Sony has signed a contract with writer and director Brian Taylor (the director behind both Crank movies, Gamer, and the most recent Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance) to make a movie based on the Twisted Metal games. While Avi and Ari Arad (who worked with Marvel on the Spider-Man series) are said to be producing the movie.
If the 7-figure deal pans out, the movie would follow the story of the games, pitting the iconic Doll Face and Sweet Tooth characters against each other in a tournament to win a wish from the devilish Calypso. Concidering that the Twisted Metal Series has as much of a story as most fighting games, we expect Taylor to take a lot of liberties while writing the script.
