Paramount and Hasbro launching writers rooms for GI Joe and Micronauts

Paramount and Hasbro are moving forward on selecting screenwriters for their "Transformers" and "G.I".

As a result of his leading these two writer's rooms, Goldsman will no longer be scripting the upcoming Transformers 5 with writing duties now falling to Iron Man scribes Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Ken Nolan (Black Hawk Down), three more of the Transformers writer's room assemblage. Though the first of the newly conceived movies has yet to actually start production, it seems Paramount already considers the writers' room experiment to be a success and is eager to repeat it with more of their franchises.

In terms of both G.I. Joe franchise and Goldsman is involved in that instead.

But G.I. Joe and Micronauts?

Micronauts, a fellow Hasbro property, has been floating in a tank of development goo at the studio for years, with writers including former DreamWorks Animation man Tom Wheeler taking a crack at turning the miniature action figures and robots into a Transformers-style potential franchise. "Joe." and "Micronauts." As he did with "Transformers", he'll be choosing and supervising the team of scribes who will come together to spin new stories of real American heroes, while reviving a toy line that died in 1980, on the big screen. Hasbro has plenty more in their collection, including the recently announced My Little Pony project, which is being developed with Lionsgate and will hit big screen in 2017. It stars Mark Whalberg, Nicola Peltz and Jack Reynor.
