Deadline: Jerry Bruckheimer Producing Movie Based On Beyblade Toy Franchise For Paramount

[Spectromixer]

Mr Blockbuster Jerry Bruckheimer is producing a live-action movie with Paramount based on the popular toy franchise Beyblade.

Neil Widener and Gavin James are scripting the project, whose plot details are being kept under wraps.

The spinning top toys – a competitor of Pokemon – were originally developed by Japanese firm Takara and have been licensed by different toy companies including Hasbro. The battling tops concept inspired manga, anime and comics series, followed by localized international TV versions, all based around a Beyblade fighting tournament.

Better have this scene in it:

 

[Cousin From Boston]

I wish I could change my account name to Beyblade Moses.

 

[Manu]

Is it gonna have adult themes like cursing and extreme violence?

 

[RadioHeadAche]

Let it r.i.p.

 

[PJV3]

Hopefully they keep it real, plastic battle arenas and intense disappointment.

Beyblade Metal Fusion and Metal Master gotta be some of the most batshit anime to exist. Everyone posts the Moses video but I don't think most people even know the final battle of metal fusion takes place on what's is probably the Tower of Babel.

And that in the lead up to this the main villain is throwing what is basically kamehamehas into crowds of people and killing them. So anyway this movie could be batshit insane cranked to 11

 

[El Bombastico]

Can't be worse than transformers can it???

A flash back of a beyblade creating the grand canyon

 

[IDontBeatGames]

I'm at the point where I mentally feel like Paramount is just doing anything they possible can to gain our attention and I'm now confident enough to say that about 95% of what they're attempting to do won't work because of that Fairly Oddparents live action spinoff trailer lmao

 

[Slayven]

Did Paramount tell the Beyblade IP holders?

 

[kurahador]

Paramount will just greenlit anything these days.

 

[HStallion]

Im looking forward to Michael Bay's Yu Gi Oh adaptation with Mark Wahlberg as Yugi and Ben Affleck as Yami.

[Oreiller]

Does anyone want to share their blading experiences? Fyi, a lot of older teens and middle aged people played beyblade. I hope the blades are going to be mostly metal and more dangerous than ever.

It'll struggle to get half of this kind of numbers.

 

[Joe]

there better not be any of these dudes safe moist as dudes

 

[GDGF]

First scene should start in someone's bathtub.

 

[Anjoys]

I hope they have this banger in the movie if they do go ahead:

 

[Galkinator]

People sending spinning tops against each other and summoning beasts out of them can only work in anime form

They should go all the way with the camp in this

 

[Dwebble]

I'll watch if it's even a fraction as batshit as the anime.

 

[RetroRunner]

Is this going to team up with the A Christmas Story cinematic universe?

 

[pbayne]

Right put me on the board. If fucking beyblade can get a movie, Medabots will get one within the next 2 years gauranteed.

 

[Soj]

Bayblade

Click to shrink...

This is absolutely the worst timeline.

 

[Altazor]

are they gonna be more dangerous than ever?

 

[Tavernade]

Did Beyblade popularity ever stabilize? When I used to work at a toy store I remember them being super popular for a year or so, completely disappearing, and then coming back a year or two later with a new subtitle. And the process repeated like three or four times.
