'Transformers' animated prequel to be directed by Josh Cooley
'Toy Story 4' director Josh Cooley has signed on to direct an animated 'Transformers' origin story. 'Ant-Man' and the 'Wasp' writers Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari are writing the script
Paramount and Hasbro have planned an animated 'Transformers prequel' with 'Toy Story 4' director Josh Cooley. The project will focus on the Autobot leader Optimus Prime and the Decepticon leader Megatron.
Cooley has signed on to direct an animated 'Transformers' origin story that will take place on Cybertron, the Transformers' home planet, according to a new report.
'Ant-Man' and the 'Wasp' writers Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari are writing the script, with Cooley said to be overseeing the final draft now.
The project is said to be separate from the live-action Transformers movie franchise, and the 2018 spin-off Bumblebee.
One reason this project is moving forward when so many others are on hold is animation production is much easier to pull off while maintaining social distancing.
No details have been given about the story and the casting of voice roles at this time.
