Anthony Mackie to Star in ‘Twisted Metal’ Live-Action Series – Variety

I have been a PlayStation kid since I made the switch from Genesis. Twisted Metal was a game I loved & constantly played with friends and my brothers. I remember sneakily getting the game because my parents didn’t know about the game rating system. So it took a long time before my mom realized what I was really playing.

With that said, I’m really excited for this series. I enjoy Anthony Mackie’s work and since I loved the games growing up I’m sure I’ll be tuning in weekly.
