Paramount Reportedly Developing a ‘Transformers: Beast Wars’ Movie
In the wake of Bumblebee, Deadline reports tonight that Paramount is working on *two* new Transformers movies, one of which will reportedly bring Beast Wars to the big screen!
The site reports that one of the films will be written by Joby Harold (Army of the Dead) and the other by James Vanderbilt (Murder Mystery), with the latter being the Beast Wars project.
The film would naturally aim to adapt storylines from the Transformers: Beast Wars franchise, which has included video games, comic books and an animated television series.
As Deadline notes, the characters in Beast Wars “are robots that transform into robotic animals like Cheetor (Cheetah), Optimus Primal (Gorilla), Rhinox (Rhinoceros) and more.”
The franchise’s animated series, which ran from 1996 to 1999, “featured the Maximals and Predacons, descendants of the Autobots and Decepticons respectively.”
From the mind of “Impractical Jokers” star James “Murr” Murray, the arachnid monster movie Don’t Move will be released in theaters September 11, we’ve learned this week.
The upcoming Don’t Move adapts the 2020 novel of the same name from co-authors Murray and Darren Wearmouth. Check out the movie’s official poster down below.
James Murray writes on X, “I’m so excited to finally share that our new horror film, Don’t Move, is coming to theaters nationwide September 11th weekend! We’re celebrating with special premiere events in Kansas City (September 8th) and at the TCL Chinese Theater in Los Angeles (September 9th), featuring an early screening, cast appearances, Q&As, and red-carpet photos! Visit http://DontMoveMovie.com for tickets to the premieres before they sell out!”
Expect the official trailer for Don’t Move on Wednesday, July 8.
Lyndsy Fonseca (Kick-Ass), Russell “Russ” Vitale, and Tom Cavanagh (The Flash) star alongside Hunter King (Life in Pieces), Rob Riggle (The Hangover), and Joseph Lee Anderson (Young Rock). Expect plenty of cameos including T-Pain, Matt Biedel, and “Impractical Jokers” members James Murray and Brian Quinn.
In Don’t Move, a church group’s annual retreat turns deadly when they wander into the wrong part of the Ozark wilderness, and something starts picking them off one by one.
Suspicion falls on Ricky (Russell “Russ” Vitale), the troublemaker of the group. But the real threat is far worse. Deep in the forest, wrapped in a labyrinth of webs, the group is pursued by a terrifying prehistoric arachnid that hunts by vibration. When every step could be their last, they only have one choice: Don’t Move.
It’s up to Megan (Lyndsy Fonseca) to hold what’s left of the group together and get them out alive.
Maclain Nelson (Vamp U) directed from the script he co-wrote with Murray and Wearmouth.
David M. Wulf produces the film that hails from Murr’s new banner Impractical Studios and counts Jeremy Starline, Gina James, Lou Magrone, Rich Osiashvili and Brian Schell as executive producers. Ethan Berman is a co-producer, while Kylie Rohead associate produces.
