Vin Diesel is teaming up with Mattel Films and Universal for a live-action movie based on the classic tabletop boxing-robot game. Diesel is set to star in and produce the movie.
The film will follow a father and son who form an unlikely bond with an advanced war machine. The screenplay is penned by Ryan Engle, who also wrote the Dwayne Johnson film "Rampage".
Launched in 1966, the Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots game was inspired by an arcade boxing game which pitted Red Rocker against Blue Bomber in a fight to knock his rival’s block off. A staple in pop culture since its debut, the brand's bright and bold gameplay has appeared in films, television shows and commercials over the past five decades.
Mattel and Universal are also developing a movie based on the "Wishbone" television series. Mattel also has projects in development, including movies based on "American Girl", "Barbie", "Barney", "Hot Wheels", "Magic 8 Ball", "Major Matt Mason", "Masters of the Universe", "Thomas & Friends", "UNO" and "View-Master".
Diesel can next be seen in "F9", the latest installment in the "Fast & Furious" series. A tenth film in the franchise starring Diesel has already been announced. He can also be seen in James Cameron's "Avatar 2", which will be released in 2022, and the actor is also set to star once again as Riddick in "Furya", and as the voice of Groot in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3".
