Another day and another set of writers have been added to Paramount's Transformers' writers room.
Deadline reports, Ken Nolan (Black Hawk Down) and relative newcomer Geneva Robertson-Dworet (Hibernation) will join the Transformers braintrust. It already includes Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead), Iron Man scribes Art Marcum and Matt Holloway, Zak Penn (X-Men: The Last Stand), Jeff Pinkner (The Amazing Spider-Man 2), Lindsey Beer (How To Nail An Alien) and Christina Hodson (Unforgettable).
Akiva Goldsman is in charge of the writers room, which he was inspired to put together from time he spent in the writers room for JJ Abrams' Fringe.
"There are good rooms around town, including the Monsters Room at Universal, the Star Wars room, and of course, at Marvel," Goldsman told Deadline. "We're trying to beg, borrow and steal from the best of them, and gathered a group of folks interested in developing and broadening this franchise."
The room will come together and start working the beginning of next week. "We will look at the toys, the TV shows, the merchandise, everything that has been generated by Hasbro, from popular to forgotten iterations, and establish a mythological time line," Goldsman said. "It has been designed with a lot of visual help, toys, robots, sketches and writers and artists. After that super saturation, the writers will figure out not one, but numerous films that will extend the universe."
