Will Arnett Is The Voice Of SWEET TOOTH For Peacock's TWISTED METAL Series
The casting for Peacock’s upcoming Twisted Metal Tv Series is spicing up and we’re stoked to hear that Will Arnett will be the voice of everyone’s favorite menacing clown, Sweet Tooth!
We first heard the news from our friends over at Variety.
Variety notes in their report, “The character in the show is described as a hilarious and terrifying hulk of a man, who is as emotional as he is cunning. A lover of chaos, this majestic rage-filled killer dons an ever-smiling clown mask and uses “Lost Vegas” as his own personal kill-ground, all while he drives his infamous doomsday ice cream truck.”
Neve Campbell has been cast as Raven, announced just last week, joining Anthony Mackie, Stephanie Beatriz and Thomas Haden Church in “Twisted Metal.”
Kitao Sakurai (Bad Trip) is on board to direct “multiple episodes” of the series.
The television series is currently in the works from Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation Productions, being described as a “comedic, half-hour live-action adaptation.”
The original take for the live-action series comes courtesy of Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, the duo behind Zombieland, and the Deadpool movie.
“Anthony Mackie stars as John Doe, a smart-ass milkman who talks as fast as he drives. With no memory of his past, John gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make his wish of finding community come true, but only if he can survive an onslaught of savage vehicular combat.” Mackie will also executive produce the upcoming series.
“Twisted Metal is a high-octane action comedy, based on an original take by Deadpool scribes Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick about a motor-mouthed outsider offered a chance at a better life, but only if he can successfully deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With the help of a trigger-happy car thief, he’ll face savage marauders driving vehicles of destruction and other dangers of the open road, including a deranged clown who drives an all too familiar ice cream truck.”
Michael Jonathan Smith (“Cobra Kai”) is on board to write and show-run the “Twisted Metal” series. Additionally, Will Arnett and Marc Forman are executive producing.
