With Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance just days away from hitting theaters, Sony Pictures has reportedly signed co-director Brian Taylor to a 7-figure deal to both write and direct a movie based on the popular Sony Computer Entertainment published Twisted Metal video game series.

The original game’s plot centers on the titular competition in which various drivers in modified vehicles must destroy the other vehicles in an attempt to be the last one alive. The winner meets the organizer of the competition, a mysterious man named Calypso, who will grant the winner a single wish, regardless of price, size or even reality.
