It seems the Neveldine Taylor directing team that brought us Crank, Gamer and this week’s Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance, is going on hiatus, as half the team, Brian Taylor is planning to go it alone with an adaptation of the videogame Twisted Metal, according to Deadline.

Sony owns the game so unsurprisingly they’re handling the movie as well, which revolves around a Death Race style tournament that pits a number of combatants in a fight to the death. They are outfitted in armored, weaponised cars that are pimped out with heavy weaponry that includes missiles and machine guns. The sole survivor will get any wish granted. The movie will apparently include signature contestant characters as Sweet Tooth, a homicidal clown who drives an ice cream truck, and Doll Face, a young woman who is trapped behind a porcelain mask and drives an 18-wheeler.

Taylor will now help develop the film, for which he’s being paid a seven-figure salary. We’ll have to wait and see if the other half of Neveldine Taylor, Mark Neveldine, will find a solo project too.
