Anthony Mackie To Star As John Doe In Playstation Productions Live-Action ‘Twisted Metal’ Series

TM2012 had some awesome huge maps with vertical subsections as well
The sheer scale of a map needed for a Battle Royale mode in fast-paced car-combat game is inconceivable. They'll figure it out I guess

Yeah, I heard…and I like the games! But I honestly can't see this being a success…
I'm hopeful.
I absolutely love the Twisted Metal series, namely 1, 2, Black, Head On, and 2012. I'm all for a revival: the genre is MIA.

I don't remember how the old games controlled at all at this point, but I wonder how they'll do it in this theoretical new one. Seems like the Halo/Fortnite vehicle model of using the left stick to propel movement allows for a lot more camera control/aiming, so maybe they'll go that route. I just hope it has an amazing damage modeling system. Let me crunch cars into a tiny ball.
At the same time we were effectively doing this in GTA 4/5. The whole-ass map and yet we all somehow always ended up at the airport doing car combat down the runway
Wouldn't it be crazy if SSM suddenly did a God of War for Twisted Metal? And by that I mean just huge, impressive reboot.
Honest question, did he play any role like this in the past? Not judging his capabilities just genuinely wondering if there was any role in the past in the same vein as this one.
I had them in mind too.
Welp... if it is them, let's hope it's better than Destruction AllStars! Considerably better.
Outside of Black and the PS3 game, I would 100% say they are comedy mixed with violence. And while Black is easily my favorite, TM2 is a close second.
I hope this is successful only because I really like the over the top ridiculous character of Sweet Tooth and would love to see him in a new game. There were some rumors about Will Arnett being involved in this too? Could be solid
Not a big fan of Mackie and wasn't interested at all when I first heard about this, but after reading the premise it sounds like it could be decent.
II highly highly highly recommend you check out Fury Road. It's a blast.
Other than Uncharted which was in development hell before PlayStation Productions was even established pretty much every PlayStation Productions project they announced has great talent attached to each of them.
The plot is different from the game for sure but it is a good change IMO. As long as the characters make it into the show then it will be a fun time.
I hope the game is using the classic formula though.
The thing they need to get right the most is Needles Kane / Sweet Tooth, because he is Twisted Metal.
He needs to be the big bad of the show. Make him insane, scary and psychotic and it could be really good because a good show needs a good villain.

If they make a new Twisted Metal game, I just hope it goes back to be a dark COMEDY like the original games were instead of the grimdark edgelord grindhouse stuff from Black.
Twisted Metal is inherently stupid. Let it be stupid, Sony.

Considering Sony TV Pictures track record on shows I am actually interested in this. If it is even half as good as Breaking Bad or The Boys we will have something good to watch.
Well, I mean, the got the first part right of this adaption: don't actually try and adapt the source material as is, or anything resembling it.
They seem to have gotten decent writers, so that's another box checked off.
Cast? Not sure Anthony Mackie seems like the right person for carrying this type of show, but he's shown some comedic chops here and there.

Even the PS3 game had a lot of than zany 90s throwback energy outside of the FMVs.
It has the Deadpool and Cobra Kai writers on it, and the fact that they're getting high profile actors like Mackie means they're taking it seriously and budget likely won't be an issue. if anything this will be one of the first well done video game tv show adaptations.
