The comedy series will be based on the popular PlayStation video game
The live-action adaptation of the video game “Twisted Metal,” which will star Anthony Mackie, has landed at Peacock, the streamer announced Monday. The half-hour live-action comedy series based on the PlayStation game series follows a motor-mouthed outsider offered a chance at a better life, but only if he can successfully deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With the help of a trigger-happy car thief, he’ll face savage marauders driving vehicles of destruction and other dangers of the open road, including a deranged clown who drives an all too familiar ice cream truck. “ ‘Twisted Metal’ has been a global phenomenon for more than 25 years but it was the creative vision for this live-action adaptation, led by Michael Jonathan Smith, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, that blew us away.
