A Dino-Riders movie could be on the way from Mattel, according to reports. The Tracking Board reports that a film based on the 1980s Tyco toys could be in development as Mattel have apparently teamed up with Solipsist Film for a future production.
Alissa Phillips (Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Butter, Moneyball, Dracula Untold) and Stephen L’Heureux will produce the film for Solipsist.
The Dino-Riders were a dunch of men and women who rode around on dinosaurs brandishing futuristic weaponry.
Here’s WikiPedia’s description of the original property.
The series focuses on the battle between the good Valorians and evil Rulons on prehistoric Earth. The Valorians were a super human race, while the Rulons were a mixture of humanoid creatures — both of which came from the future, however ended up transported back in time to the age of Dinosaurs. Once on Earth, the Valorians befriended dinosaurs while the Rulons brain-washed them.
That’s about all that we have on the potential movie. More news as we get it. Read more over at The Tracking Board.
