‘Hot Wheels’ Movie Moving Forward
By George Robbins
Hot Wheels are a brand that many of us all remember from when we were little and they have continued to be a major brand as the years have gone on. They were created by the Mattel toy company which has developed countless toys over the years that everyone knows and loves. Without those toys, many people would have had very little in the way of entertainment as children and, while toys are less important to kids these days than technology, they still play a vital role in the growths and imaginations of children. Much of what actually ends up being seen on the market for people to buy for their children stems from the Mattel company.
Mattel tries their best to expand beyond the limits people put on them by making TV shows and movies based upon the properties that they own. This has at least made it a little more possible for them to expand their influence a little bit given the modern day’s more technological focus. Therefore, it isn’t too much of a surprise that they are trying to get themselves into the movie market a bit more but, like most of their projects, they have to use their own toy properties to make this content. This isn’t exactly an easy task for them to accomplish, but they are going for it and eventually they want to see a ‘Hot Wheels’ movie come to fruition. This is why they have hired a set of writers that they feel will finally be able to give their movie life after so many years.
Apparently, Mattel has been trying to create a ‘Hot Wheels’ movie for over 20 years, but of course it is not an easy task because how do you even create a coherent movie out of toy cars. There is no telling how they plan on having this film play out just yet, but we now know that they have hired the ‘Now You See Me 3’ writers to work on the film. ‘Now You See Me’ and its sequel have both had unique storylines which have brought in crowds that were surprised at how well done the movies were. Hopefully, these writers will be able to do the same thing with a ‘Hot Wheels’ movie and we will see a storyline that does the brand justice. Unfortunately, it is a movie based on a toy brand, so most people should not expect the movie to be a good one, but maybe it will be passable.
