…OK. From Hollywood Reporter:
Justin Lin is revving up Hot Wheels.
The Star Trek Beyond filmmaker has closed a deal to develop, direct and produce, via his Perfect Storm Entertainment, a feature based on popular car toyline from Mattel.
Lin and Perfect Storm will also have an option to co-finance the project.
It’s not coming out any time soon, but: if we simply must have a Hot Wheels movie – and it seems that we must – Justin Lin is not the worst pick in the world to direct/produce it. It… it could function. It will not win a single Oscar except in the technical categories, but it could function.
I knew I shouldn’t have bought a ticket to the Battleship movie. It just encouraged them. 🙂
