This doesn't sound like a good idea at all lol, unless you're a huge fan of the aesthetic and "attitude" (for lack of a better term) of the series. TM games aren't meant to tell stories. There's no interesting stories to tell in the TM universe (there's not really a "universe" in the first place) and the characters are just cheesy bottom of the barrel horror stars waiting to get their own bottom of the barrel horror/action flick. There are plenty of franchises out there with universes that might be interesting to adapt to film like Bioshock, Uncharted, Gears of War, Condemned, and Halo etc, and all those series have been reported to have movies in the works at some point or another, but it's never happened. I don't think Twisted Metal has much chance at all to A: be made, and B: be any good.
My nostalgia for Twisted Metal and the enjoyment I had with the games back in the day isn't enough to blind me into thinking this movie idea would be any good. It's just car combat and racing around. That movie Death Race already came out a few years ago and it sucked, and I don't think a Twisted Metal movie would have anything more to offer.
