So, this obviously didn’t get produced (thanks, COVID!), but Meryl Streep’s face on a monster truck holds a special place in my heart.
Netflix needed big ideas for the release of Ryan Murphy’s The Prom, so we went big. Monster.
Inspired by the film’s theme of worlds colliding (and a little scene that finds the Broadway stars at a monster truck rally), we pitched The Dee Dee Allenator, The Glickmaniac, and The Angie Dickinson of a Gun. Behold, you have Oscar winners Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman on monster trucks. And also James Corden.
The plan was, we’d surprise Monster Jammers with the most over-the-top trucks in history and compete in rallies across the country. But we wouldn’t stop there (except we did, because, again, COVID). The trucks would tear ass through the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and find immortality with their very own Hot Wheels.
