It was recently announced that the Transformers franchise was launching an expanded Marvel style shared universe. An all star team of writers has been lined up, including Robert Kirkman (Walking Dead), Jeff Pinkner (Amazing Spider-Man), Zak Penn (Avengers) and Art Marcum & Matt Holloway (Iron Man). Now some new information about the franchise is coming out including Michael Bay’s return to direct Transformers 5 and the very possible Beast Wars spin-off.
The new Transformers super table of writers is being helmed by Akiva Goldsman. Recently, Goldsman spoke to Deadline about Transformers writers circle:
“There is such reciprocity between TV and movies now, that we’re borrowing this from TV. I got a taste of this from JJ Abrams when I came in to write an episode of Fringe, and then Jeff Pinkner let me hang around for four years like the drunk uncle. The whole process of the story room was really delightful, and we are seeing it more in movies as this moves toward serialized storytelling.
“There are good rooms around town, including the Monsters Room at Universal, the Star Wars room, and of course, at Marvel. We’re trying to beg, borrow and steal from the best of them, and gathered a group of folks interested in developing and broadening this franchise. There is a central corridor of movies that has been proceeding quite well, but our challenge will be to answer, where do we go from here?”
Goldsman went on to tease one of the many possibilities that could come from the room:
“If one of the writers discovers an affinity for Beast Wars, they can drive forward on treatments that will have been fleshed out by the whole room.”
