“Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines.” Who remembers this game? Peacock has launched their early teaser trailer for the series Twisted Metal, an adaptation of the video game series of the same name. Yep, another video game adaptation, but this one is being turned into a streaming series for Peacock to join the content era as more IP content for everyone to mindlessly consume. But hey, at least it has Anthony Mackie in it! And the crazy clown from the games. In a post-apocalyptic wasteland, John Doe, a talkative milkman with amnesia, is given a mission to traverse the desolate world to deliver a cryptic package in order to stay alive (and earn a better life). Alongside the assistance of “Quiet”, a rash car thief, Doe faces a life-altering opportunity but must confront ruthless marauders in deadly and destructive vehicles to secure a chance at a better future. Starring Anthony Mackie, Stephanie Beatriz, Thomas Haden Church, Will Arnett, Richard Cabral, and Samoa Joe. This is a great introductory tease – bet you want to see more, don’t you?
