Post Malone is partnering up with Michael Bay and Brad Fuller’s Platinum Dunes and Vault Comics to create a whole new franchise based on an original story by Malone.
The project does not have a title, but it will first launch as a graphic novel in 2025. It’s also explained that the story will blend elements of road thrillers like Mad Max: Fury Road and demonic horror like Evil Dead.
The story is set in medieval Europe, “where the only thing standing in the way of the horde of demons infesting the continent is a mysterious armored 18-wheeler seemingly sent back from the heavens.”
Yeah, that sounds like the kind of thing that Malone would come up with! He said in a statement: “I’m so pumped to share this badass story with the world, and I couldn’t ask for better partners than Michael Bay and Vault to help bring this story to life.
Vault CEO Damian Wassel said: “This is the kind of project you dream about. We get to work with an exceptional artist at the top of his game to build a completely original story from the ground up.”
He added: “We have an iconic director helping to guide the creative development. We’re going to bring the world a mind-blowing graphic novel, and that’s just the beginning.”
Bay also shared a statement, saying: “I love working with talented people, and Post Malone is incredibly gifted. I am excited to work with him on such an intriguing idea, and when you add Vault to the mix, it raises the bar to another level. This new IP is just what the graphic world needs right now.”
The long-term goal is to adapt this graphic novel into a movie.
