Just a couple of months after a "writers room" for future
Transformers sequels and spinoffs was set up at Paramount Pictures with Akiva
Goldsman at the head, Deadline is reporting that Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead),
Art Marcum and Matt Holloway (Punisher: War Zone), Zak Penn (The Incredible Hulk),
Jeff Pinkner (Lost), and more yet to be announced have joined the think-tank.
The plan is for this group of writers to come up with fresh ideas for the
franchise, which has transformed itself into one long and bad example of product
placement. If and when the ideas are approved, each writer or team of writers
will go on to pen the actual film.
Though the idea of having individual writers coming up with ideas for sequels
and spinoffs may sound strange from a consistency standpoint, it's worth
reminding that the Transformers universe was never that well defined to begin
with. Characters appearing in one film and then disappearing in the next as if
they never existed or significant plot points from one film being largely ignored
or crudely executed in the sequel.
