Justin Lin to Direct a ‘Hot Wheels’ Movie for Legendary

 

 

Mattel Entertainment and Legendary are now teaming up for a Hot Wheels movie in earnest. The toy car icon will be celebrating its 50th anniversary in the summer of 2018, so I’d be surprised if they weren’t aiming for a well-timed release date.

 

However, this project has been spinning its wheels since 2003, with the last we heard anything about it coming in 2011 when Legendary was in talks to acquire the movie rights from Mattel. Since then, the project has seen such names as McG and Simon Crane temporarily occupy the director’s chair, but Justin Lin is the name of the game today. Via THR, Lin “has closed a deal to develop, direct and produce, via his Perfect Storm Entertainment, a feature based on popular car toyline from Mattel.” Lin also has the option of co-financing the film.

 

Meanwhile, Mattel Entertainment also has the upcoming movie projects Masters of the Universe and Barbie at Sony, and Monster High set up at Universal.

Fast & the Furiously Collectible?

Pretty much - but with really wild looking cars that shouldn't be able to move so fast.
