Zak Penn, who wrote the screenplay for the upcoming  Ready Player One film, will now take on adapting ROM for Hasbro's Allspark Pictures and Paramount Pictures.

ROM started out as a toy but then became a comic book called ROM: Spaceknight. ROM is a cyborg from the planet Galador who, after defeating the Dire Wraith on his plant, fights for other planets as well, including Earth.

Penn is keeping busy. He is also currently working on a script for a film set in the Matrix universe.
