Twincast / Podcast Episode #323 "Collective Thinking"

Collective Thinking - Life's biggest mystery is, for some, what to collect or what doesn't belong on the shelf.

Russian Fans will be able to watch Rise of the Beasts in Russian Despite Sanctions

Posted 22 hours ago by william-james88 - 6,190 views

Western films are included in the sanctions related to Russia at the moment, so Transformers Rise of the Beasts could never have a legitimate release there. However, through a bypass release (aka smuggling), the film will be released in Russia with Russian dubbing. It is not sure if it will be shown in all cities and since this is a bypass release, any revenue it will generate will not be counted towards the global box office for this film. It is due out there June 15th. The dubbed trailer is - Read More
