New Transformers Films With Zodiac And Army of the Dead Writers In The Works

The Transformers are rolling out once again!

Paramount and Hasbro are set to reboot the Transformers, as they have hired two writers to write the scripts for the multi-billion dollar franchise.

Joby Harold, who co-wrote the upcoming Zack Snyder zombie movie, Army of the Dead, and James Vanderbilt, who wrote David Fincher’s Zodiac, have been hired to write separate scripts as the companies pursue concurrent development.

The move happens over a year since the December 2018 release of the last Transformers movie, Bumblebee. Since the franchise launched in 2007, the Transformers series has mostly been a box office hits and hitting the franchise highs with 2011’s Dark of the Moon and 2014’s Age of Extinction, both of which made over $1.1 billion.

While theres no word on what the premise of the scripts will focus on, but Paramount and Hasbro want a chance at giving the franchise a chance to build out multiple storylines and to also expand the universe. .
