Post Malone, Michael Bay & Brad Fuller’s Platinum Dunes Team With Vault Comics For New Universe From 8x Diamond-Selling Recording Artist

deadline.com:

EXCLUSIVE: Post Malone and A Quiet Place Platinum Dune producers Michael Bay and Brad Fuller’s are partnering with Vault Comics to create an all-new IP universe based on an original story by the 8x diamond recording artist.

This continues a hot streak for Post Malone, who recently made history with the first ever RIAA-certified Double-Diamond single, mesmerized audiences with his pre-Super Bowl performance of “America the Beautiful” and had a role in Amazon MGM Studios’ Road House, which was the most viewed original film launch ever on Prime Video.

Blending elements of road thrillers like Mad Max: Fury Road, and demonic horror like Evil Dead, Post Malone‘s story is set in medieval Europe, where the only thing standing in the way of the horde of demons infesting the continent is a mysterious armored 18-wheeler seemingly sent back from the heavens. “I’m so pumped to share this badass story with the world, and I couldn’t ask for better partners than Michael Bay and Vault to help bring this story to life,” Post Malone tells Deadline.

Working closely with Post Malone, Vault will launch the story first as a graphic novel, set for publication in 2025. Meanwhile, Post Malone, Platinum Dunes, and Vault will concurrently develop a feature film adaptation of the story. “This is the kind of project you dream about,” said Vault CEO Damian Wassel. “We get to work with an exceptional artist at the top of his game to build a completely original story from the ground up.
