AceShowbiz - Several A-list writers have been tapped to join Akiva Goldsman in helping develop some future "Transformers" movies. In a recent interview with IGN, Steven S. DeKnight, one of the writers, hinted that "Transformers 5" had been officially moving forward with Goldsman and Jeff Pinkner writing the script.
DeKnight said that he's having a great time during the writing process with his team. He also praised the other writers while hinting that Pinkner's currently co-writing the fifth installment of "Transformers" movie franchise with Goldsman. "Akiva Goldsman was fantastic and Jeff Pinkner, who's co-writing the fifth ['Transformers'] movie with him, was phenomenal. Zak Penn... It was just a room full of brilliant, funny, amazing people. And we spent two and a half weeks in physically the best writers room I've ever seen in my life. Paramount pulled out all the stops. It was phenomenal! We laughed and joked and told stories and plotted out," he said.
As a writer and executive producer for Marvel's acclaimed TV series "Daredevil", DeKnight also shared his feeling about taking TV dynamic and using it in film. "You know, it's that wonderful thing where features are now taking a page from television and getting people together to plan things out, and it was a wonderful experience," the writer shared.
However, DeKnight didn't want to give any further information about the project. "I can't say what we plotted out, but it was all very exciting and in the next few months we'll see what moves forward and what doesn't move forward," he continued.
He seemed to be really grateful to team up with such brilliant writers, "It was a fantastic experience. One of the best experiences of that was when Steven Spielberg popped by one afternoon to just sit and talk and hear what we were working on. Everybody was about to throw up, they were so excited."
It was previously reported that those writers were set to develop "Transformers" multi-films. The idea is to produce not only the primary sequels, but also spin-offs, prequels, and possibly even animated films as part of a Transformers Cinematic Universe.
