It looks like Paramount Pictures’ Transformers writers room has beared fruit, with the studio announcing today that it is officially moving forward with Transformers 5, as well as an as-yet-untitled animated origin movie focussing on Cybertron.
Deadline is reporting that Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind) will pen the fifth instalment in the live-action series, which will reunite Transformers: Age of Extinction director Michael Bay and star Mark Wahlberg. Meanwhile, the animated movie will be penned by Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari, who wrote this year’s superhero origin tale Ant-Man.
The site goes on to suggest that of the nine ideas pitched in the writers room experiment, executive producer Steven Spielberg felt that five had promise, and that there is a loose plan in place for future movies from Jeff Pinkner (The Amazing Spider-Man 2) and Lindsey Beer (Short Circuit).
