Overview
- This week Paramount and Hasbro hired Jason Fuchs, the writer of It: Welcome to Derry, to pen an untitled Transformers screenplay for the studio.
- Producers attached include Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Mark Vahradian, Michael Bay, Tom DeSanto and Don Murphy while Steven Spielberg and Hasbro Entertainment are listed as executive producers.
- Paramount is developing several separate Transformers projects, including a Derek Connolly script for a Transformers/G.I. Joe crossover, and has kept plot details for Fuchs’s script private.
- The new work is described as following the events of 2023’s Rise of the Beasts, which set up a possible G.I. Joe connection in a post‑credits scene.
- The move aims to reset a franchise that has seen falling returns after its Michael Bay peak and to give filmmakers and writers multiple creative paths to rebuild box‑office appeal while a director and release date remain unannounced.
