Years ago, a Brooklyn Nine-Nine writer pitched a movie idea for a film with a fantastic concept involving Nerf guns, though it never worked out. Writer Van Robichaux said on X/Twitter, as discovered by IGN, that the idea was to make a "normal action movie" but every weapon is a Nerf gun--and no one addresses it.

Robichaux said the movie could have featured Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, one of the Hemsworth brothers, or any big action stars. "Hire a great action director and do a normal action movie but--every weapon's a Nerf weapon. Every bullet is foam. Never directly address it in the film and play it straight," the writer said.

The writer was in love with the idea, but the pitch didn't resonate at Hasbro, apparently. It's too bad, because that sounds like a fantastic idea. Robichaux said it is "fear" that makes some studio executives apprehensive about funding new ideas.
