Justin Lin Picked To Steer ‘Hot Wheels’

Justin Lin, coming off directing Star Trek Beyond, is getting behind the wheel of Hot Wheels, a feature film based on the classic Mattel car toy line that Legendary Pictures has been trying to put together for a while. The live-action take at one point had Simon Crane helming back in 2013 with a rewrite by Paul Attanasio from a script by Iron Man scribes Art Marcum and Matt Holloway. Lin and his Perfect Storm Entertainment will produce this and set a new writer.
