Originally slated for a 2015 release, Monster Trucks the motion picture will hit theaters in January of 2017. Yes, it’s a motion picture and – yes – its about Monster Trucks. It’s about monsters living in trucks, replacing the running gear with their monster muscles. Yep, it’s a real movie that combines elements of E.T., Free Willy, Tremors and Transformers.
Only in Hollywood.
Here’s the odd part. Despite a goofy premise and an obvious Ram Trucks connection (every vehicle has an obligatory FCA connection) it looks like something little ones would dig. I may even bring my “Mini-me” to a showing. The special effects look pretty impressive, and any movie with Danny Glover I am required to see by state law.
Here’s Paramount’s log-line: “Looking for any way to get away from the life and town he was born into, Tripp (Lucas Till), a high school senior, builds a Monster Truck from bits and pieces of scrapped cars. After an accident at a nearby oil-drilling site displaces a strange and subterranean creature with a taste and a talent for speed, Tripp may have just found the key to getting out of town and a most unlikely friend.
Melding cutting edge visual effects and state-of-the-art CGI, Monster Trucks is an action filled adventure for the whole family that will keep you on the edge of your seat and ultimately touch your heart. January 2017 in theaters and RealD 3D.”
The cast includes: Lucas Till, Jane Levy, Barry Pepper, Amy Ryan, Rob Lowe, Danny Glover, Thomas Lennon and Holt McCallany.
