Derek Connolly to Write Paramount’s Transformers/G.I. Joe Crossover

– Derek Connolly has been chosen to write the script for a new crossover action project that combines the Transformers and G.I. Joe franchises, set to star Chris Hemsworth.
– The film will feature the Autobots and G.I. Joes teaming up against the Decepticons and Cobra, marking the first time the two Hasbro properties will unite on the screen, following an implied setup in “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.”

Derek Connolly, acclaimed for his narrative contributions to the “Jurassic World” franchise and the whimsical “Detective Pikachu,” has been entrusted with the creative reins of a thrilling crossover venture. In this new endeavor, Connolly will craft the screenplay for an ambitious Paramount project that merges the universes of “Transformers” and “G.I. Joe” – iconic Hasbro properties that have each carved their distinguished legacies across various mediums.

This forthcoming project is not just another addition to the genre of action-packed cinema but marks a pioneering move, combining two distinct and beloved storylines into a singular cinematic experience. The fabric of this adventure is woven with timeless characters: the noble Autobots and the brave Joes take their stand against their infamous adversaries, the Decepticons and the villainous Cobra. Although such an alliance has manifested within the pages of comics – notably starting with a Marvel Comics issue in 1987 – it has awaited its grand debut on screen until now. Anticipation is high for the potential dynamic narrative intrigues and the meshing of these expansive worlds.

Hollywood heavyweight Chris Hemsworth is set to star in the feature, which weaves its narrative following the events of “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.” The latter film concluded with the protagonist, portrayed by Anthony Ramos, receiving an invitation to join the ranks of the Joes, thus sowing the seeds for this crossover’s storyline. This continuation suggests that the film will explore brand new territories, entwining fates and story arcs that have been long cherished by fans of both properties.

Behind the scenes, the project assembles a dream team with storied careers in blockbuster film production. Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Mark Vahradian, the action film maestro Michael Bay, Tom DeSanto, and Don Murphy are set to produce. Both Steven Spielberg and Hasbro Entertainment will serve as executive producers, assuring a guiding hand of cinematic expertise and ensuring that the essence of the globally recognized toys is faithfully represented on the big screen.

Connolly’s journey to this high-profile scriptwriting opportunity is a tale of progressive success in the film industry. His inaugural feature screenwriting venture was with the critically lauded “Safety Not Guaranteed,” helmed by Colin Trevorrow, for which Connolly received the Independent Spirit Award for Best First Screenplay and the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at the Sundance Film Festival. His filmography is a testament to his ability to navigate and expand worlds of fantasy and adventure – from the prehistoric jungles of “Jurassic World” to the far reaches of the galaxy in “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.”

Continuing his streak of bringing beloved franchises to life, Connolly has recently tackled adaptations in the gaming world, having worked on the planned cinematic adaptation of “The Legend of Zelda,” which is to be directed by Wes Ball. Ahead of his upcoming stint with robots and action heroes, Connolly’s representation by Verve and Ginsburg Daniels underscores his well-earned veneration in the industry and the confidence placed in his scriptwriting prowess.

The fusion of “Transformers” and “G.I. Joe” under Connolly’s narrative direction is poised to offer an unprecedented spectacle within the action genre’s evolving landscape. Fans eagerly anticipate how the homage to these classic figures will unfold and resonate within the pantheon of modern cinema, establishing a new benchmark for crossover storytelling.
