\u201cIt: Welcome to Derry\u201d writer Jason Fuchs has been tapped to write an untitled \u201cTransformers\u201d script for Paramount and Hasbro, TheWrap has exclusively learned.<\/p>\n

Plot details are being kept under wraps.<\/p>\n

Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Mark Vahradian, Michael Bay, Tom DeSanto and Don Murphy will produce.\u00a0Steven Spielberg and\u00a0Hasbro\u00a0Entertainment\u00a0will executive produce.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fuch\u2019s script is on of many in development at the studio as \u201cJurassic World\u201d writer Derek Connolly is also writing the \u201cTransformers\u201d and \u201cG.I. Joe\u201d crossover movie, based on the Hasbro toy lines for Paramount, The Wrap previously reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The untitled new movie will continue the story after 2023\u2019s \u201cTransformers: Rise of the Beasts,\u201d where Anthony Ramos\u2019 character Noah Diaz was offered a job with G.I. Joe in the film\u2019s post-credit scene.<\/p>\n

The first Michael Bay-directed \u201cTransformers\u201d films were game-changing box office hits in the late-2000\u2019s\/early 2010\u2019s, temporarily sitting alongside the \u201cHarry Potter\u201d series, the \u201cPirates of the Caribbean\u201d films, the \u201cShrek\u201d franchise and the \u201cSpider-Man\u201d trilogy atop the franchise blockbuster tentpole mountain.<\/p>\n

While domestic interest peaked with \u201cRevenge of the Fallen\u201d ($409 million in 2009) and \u201cDark of the Moon\u201d ($355 million in 2011), 3D bumps for \u201cDark of the Moon\u201d in 2011 and a shrewd bet on China with \u201cAge of Extinction\u201d (which set its entire third act in Hong Kong and featured Chinese government officials racing to the rescue) pushed those films over $1 billion worldwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cTransformers: The Last Knight\u201d tumbled in 2017, earning just $131 million domestic, $228 million in China (compared to $300 million for \u201cAge of Extinction\u201d) and $605 million worldwide; and the cheaper, better-reviewed, Travis Knight-directed 80\u2019s prequel \u201cBumblebee\u201d earned $127 million\/$171 million\/$471 million in 2018 on a $135 million budget.<\/p>\n

The last hybrid live-action film in the series, 2023\u2019s \u201cRise of the Beasts,\u201d grossed just $429 million worldwide. 2024\u2019s animated \u201cTransformers One\u201d grossed $128.7 million worldwide \u2014 the lowest-earning entry in the franchise\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

Fuchs is one of today\u2019s most in-demand writers in Hollywood \u2013 as a screenwriter, his films have grossed over $1.9 billion at the global box office. Most recently, Fuchs co-created, co-showran and executive produced the critically acclaimed HBO series, \u201cWelcome to Derry.\u201d He\u2019s currently writing a live-action feature adaptation of \u201cMy Hero Academia\u201d for Netflix and Legendary. He\u2019s just launched his own company: Five Ten Productions.<\/p>\n
