THE TRANSFORMERS have been many things: a toy line, cartoon series, comics, even a theatrical movie. But now Hasbro's robots in disguise are preparing for their greatest role yet...as a live-action movie.
Don Murphy (
THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN) and Tom DeSanto (
X-MEN) are the two gentlemen who have the plan and will be the film's producers. DeSanto is also in the midst of creating a story treatment for the movie, which will serve as the template for the screenplay.
It's not the first time a live-action
TRANSFORMERS movie has been attempted. Three years ago director Joseph Kahn (
TORQUE) and producer Chris Lee (
S.W.A.T.) attempted to assemble a
TRANSFORMERS movie for SuperMegaMedia, a production company, but things never got further than the initial planning stages.
Murphy and DeSanto's
TRANSFORMERS idea will be shopped around to studios shortly. It's expected that a screenwriter will be hired shortly after that.
