TWISTED METAL's Creator Is All For The Upcoming TV Series Adaptation & Would Love To Be Involved With It

Twisted Metal is a vehicular-combat video-game series which began in 1995. Its most recent instalment was released in 2012 for the PlayStation 3. However, the series is set for a resurgence as Sony has announced that they will be adapting it into a television series.

This news came in tandem with the announcement of PlayStation Productions, Sony's new division intent on adapting their many video-game franchises into movies and shows.

Following the announcement of the Twisted Metal TV series, many fans took to the Twitter of the franchise's creator (@davidscottjaffe) with questions. David Jaffe promptly revealed that he was just as surprised as the rest of us to find out that a Twisted Metal series is in development, though he's all for the project.

Firstly, Jaffe cautioned that there's always a chance that the show won't come to fruition. The developer likely mentioned this as there was previously an attempt to adapt the game into a movie back in 2012 - that project was obviously cancelled. Jaffe then mentioned that he's open to being involved with the TV adaptation should Sony want him to be.

if they want my feedback, thoughts, help, and/or services I'm at their beck and call cause- as y'all know- I think the world of TM is super rich and I'd love to see more done with it besides straight up demo derby (altho that is tons of fun too!:)...

That's what I mean about a long road to development and a real show/movie. MANY moving parts, lots of money, lots of voices chiming in: it's a wonder anything ever gets a greenlight! In the case of the movie tho, not sure what caused it to fall apart.
