Michael Bay, Adam Goodman Team for Potential ‘Skibidi Toilet’ Film, TV Adaptations
The pair is thinking about creating a franchise based on the popular cultural phenomenon. They are currently discussing potential opportunities in both television and film projects.
From viral internet memes to Hollywood productions, celebrated filmmaker Michael Bay has joined forces with ex-Paramount Pictures executive Adam Goodman to create a movie and television franchise based on the beloved Skibidi Toilet animated videos and games found on YouTube.
Created with Source Filmmaker, the Machinima series is targeted at a younger audience and may be difficult for older individuals to understand. The episodes focus on a unique conflict between toilets shaped like humans, known as skibidi toilets, and enemies who have cameras for heads.
"We are currently discussing potential projects for both television and film," Goodman mentioned in an interview with Variety. "However, this is not the only thing we are focusing on."
Goodman mentioned that Michael and Jeffrey Beecroft, who has been working with him on all his movies for a long time, are collaborating closely with Alexey to enhance the technical aspects of this project. They aim to elevate it beyond what creators typically have access to on the internet, in case they decide to transition into film or television.
Although specific information about the potential partnership hasn't been shared, Goodman did bring up the idea of a mix between animation and live-action for Skibidi, drawing inspiration from the styles of John Wick and District 9.
"If we can find a partner who truly sees the potential for growth in this project and believes in the storytelling, then expanding into film and TV feels like a logical next step," Goodman stated.
