Now That J.J. Has Successfully Relaunched Some Of Our Favorite Astronauts, Maybe He'll Do The Same For Some MICRONAUTS!!
In an article evaluating all the toy/game-to-movie madness we've been experiencing lately, The Wall Street Journal says J.J. Abrams is "in talks" to lord over a movie based on MICRONAUTS toys. If J.J.'s there, can Bob & Alex be far behind?
J.J. Abrams, who created the TV show "Lost" and directed this summer's "Star Trek" film, is in discussions to produce a movie about Japanese toy line Micronauts, which Hasbro just acquired.
...says WSJ HERE , in an article which also includes the following TRANSFORMERS 3-related quote from Mr. Bay:
"I didn't want to do it," says Mr. Bay, "but Paramount, they begged me."
In case you missed the MICRONAUTS bandwagon, here are two vintage TV commercials hocking product:
Various MICRONAUTS merch, including toys and issues 1-59 of a Marvel comic adaptation, can be found HERE
