Stuntman-turned-director Simon Crane is buckling up to helm Legendary's Hot Wheels feature film, Variety reports. The script is also set for a rewrite by Donnie Brasco and Quiz Show scribe Paul Attanasio. The film was previously drafted Matt Holloway and Art Marcum.
First announced in 2011 , the film is planned to offer "edgier" fare, aiming for an audience similar to that of The Fast and the Furious franchise, rather than as a children's film.
The popular toy line dates back to 1968 and, since the initial wave of 16 different models, more than 10,000 variations of 1:64 scale automobiles have been produced. Though a film version has been announced for development by various studios in the past, none have made it to production.
