Game of Thrones creators D.B. Weiss and David Benioff have been developing multiple projects over at Netflix, and the streaming service has announced another film project that they’ll be developing. It’s titled Metal Lords, Weiss and Benioff wrote the script, and they will also serve as executive producers.
So far, the cast of the film includes Jaeden Martell (Knives Out, It), Isis Hainsworth (Misbehaviour, Emma), and newcomer Adrian Greensmith. Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist director Peter Sollett will helm the project.
The story centers on two kids who want to start a heavy metal band in a high school where exactly two kids care about heavy metal. Martell and Greensmit are set to play the two lead kids. Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello will also be working on the project and is credited as Executive Music Producer.
Metal Lords is far enough along that it will be the first movie to come out of the partnership between Netflix and Benioff and Weiss. Other projects in the works from them include a feature adaptation of the Lovecraft graphic novel, and TV adaptations of the award-winning Chinese book series The Three-Body Problem and the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Overstory.
There aren’t a lot of details to share for this new film project, but it sounds like could be a fun flick about heavy metal. We’ll see!
