Paramount’s Monster Trucks appears to be the studio’s hot potato, since it has been delayed again. The live-action/CGI hybrid now will not be released until March 2016.
Monster Trucks was supposed to be released in May, but was pushed to Christmas Day in January, when Paramount decided to move up Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation to July 31. On Tuesday, Deadline reported that Monster Trucks was pushed again to March 18, 2016. That will put it up against .
The film is a Paramount Animation/Nickelodeon Movies production and cost $125 million to make. It is being directed by Chris Wedge (Ice Age, Epic) and was originally written by Kung Fu Panda tream Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger. The two writers also worked on Paramount Animation’s The Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out Of Water. Derek Connolly wrote the shooting script.
Not much is known about what Monster Trucks is really supposed to be. Production started back in May 2014, but we still don’t know what the plot is, other than how it will include monster trucks. The cast includes Rob Lowe, Thomas Lennon, Jane Levy and Amy Ryan.
