If you were wondering whether, for his last Transformers movie, Michael Bay would make a small, arthouse-style drama, this trailer is here to says that no, you were a moron to think that. Instead – and despite Bay promising changes – it’s going to be as big, bombastic and literally explosive as previous instalments.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘The Last Knight shatters the core myths of the Transformers franchise, and redefines what it means to be a hero. Humans and Transformers are at war, Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving our future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Saving our world falls upon the shoulders of an unlikely alliance: Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg); Bumblebee; an English Lord (Sir Anthony Hopkins); and an Oxford Professor (Laura Haddock).
There comes a moment in everyone’s life when we are called upon to make a difference. In Transformers: The Last Knight, the hunted will become heroes. Heroes will become villains. Only one world will survive: theirs, or ours.’
The movie will be in cinemas in June. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]
Michael Bay said he was only directing three Transformers films, but then he agreed to make a fourth. That though, he said, would definitely be the last, before he signed on to help a fifth one. However, this time he seems to really mean it, as alongside The Last Knight’s Super Bowl spot, Bay has released a statement underlining that this will be his final time as director (although he does leave the door open).
It doesn’t look like things are going to be going well for the Autobots in Transformers: The Last Knight. The recent trailer showed Optimus Prime and Bumblebee fighting, and now the first poster shows Prime standing, sword in hand, standing over what looks to be the corpse of his yellow (former) friend.
After watching this trailer, you can almost seen the first few meetings for the latest Transformers movie, where they were trying to figure out what the hell they were going to do, so it wouldn’t seem exactly like the previous ones. Normally when that happens with a film series, they send the characters on holiday for the next sequel, but that wouldn’t really work for Optimus Prime and co, so they’ve gone for the other standby – time-travel.
Is there really much point us writing anything about a new Transformers movie? By now everyone who even vaguely cares knows exactly what they’re going to get. That said, they have promised this one will be a little different, with redesigned Autobot and Decepticons, but with Michael Bay still at the helm, it’s still gonna be pretty much what we expected.
