The site ComicBook.com is reporting that the trailer for Transformers: The Last Knight is primed and ready to roll out any time soon, with classification and 'IMAX in theater' sent through by Paramount. A word of warning though: the original article seems to have disappeared, but we have a cached version here - this may mean that the news was either incorrect or not meant for the public yet. In either case, check out more info below!
It looks like we’ll be getting our first glimpse at Transformers: The Last Knight sooner rather than later thanks to a new trailer being classified. According to Consumer Protection BC, Paramount has sent through the trailer with an “IMAX in Theatre” label.
This could mean any number of things. For instance, the last time we saw something like this was when Warner Brothers prepared the footage they were going to show for Batman V Superman which ended up being an IMAX event before footage made its way to the internet. It could also mean that the trailer might just run in front of IMAX releases. The next big IMAX release is Fantastic Beasts hitting theaters next week, so those looking to catch that film on the bigger screen will be treated to the trailer.
In any instance, a trailer for Michael Bay’s final outing with the Transformers is ready to roll out and blow fans away.
Tmall TV, an online Chinese language show about consumer products, had a special episode on Transformers where they toured Hasbro's head office, got a history lesson of the brand by John Warden and were shown how the toys were made. Hasbro chose this as the occasion to officially reveal Voyager Optimus Prime from Transformers: The Last Knight by showing the process it took to make him. You can see screenshots of the show below where they go through all the steps, from design, to grey model, to finished sample.
The grey model shown is of the same toy and it is actually hand crafted by sculptors (before the mold for mass release is done). This model is then photographed and digitally painted.
The sample shown is confirmed to be according to the colours chosen by the designers. While anything can happen, this seems to indeed be the final colouring of the toy.
The conversion was said to take about 15 steps (with some steps being truncated as one for this estimate).
John Warden then said that Hasbro was currently working on 160 transformers toys, at different stages of course. While that seems like a big number, it would include redecos, one steps and one step redecos.
We then got a look at how an artist designs a toy, using Soundwave as an example.
The special ended with a shot of the entire Transformers team (which seems to have as many women as men, a pleasant surprise) while an exchange of gifts were. Tmall got a custom Year of the Horse Optimus Prime while Hasbro got a 5 meter long piece of art showing many different versions of Optimus and Megatron.
You can watch the entire hour long episode here, or simply take a gander at the screenshots below. Enjoy!
We have seen the colour test, a possible slapdash prototype, and now - via fellow Seibertronian AzT - we get a look at Hasbro Transformers's John Warden himself presenting the prototype for the upcoming The Last Knight Optimus Prime figure, on what looks to be a Chinese TV show or segment. Check out the screenshots below, courtesy of the Snakas blog!
Instagram user PCHxRunners have posted a couple of shots of the new Camaro vehicle for Bumblebee, as will be seen in Transformers: The Last Knight, currently sat in the backlot of Paramount - which might say nothing, if cast member Isabela Moner hadn't also posted on Snapchat about her changing into her character again for some more Bumblebee-ing. Check out the images below!
Coming fresh from his Instagram, we have confirmation that Vincent Jerome will be joining the Last Knight cast!
The British actor is known for roles in Gangsters, Guns and Zombies as well as the upcoming film The Few, a project heavily publicized this past weekend at the London MCM Comic Con.
Jerome posted a photo of Himself with an autobot logo along with the photo of Optimus Prime from TLK on Thursday, with the caption
I'm proud to announce I'll be appearing in next summer's Hollywood Blockbuster Transformers The Last Knight.
At this time it is unknown what part Jerome will be playing, and if he was on set at all during principal filming, but stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all the latest TLK updates!
We reported here that composer Steve Jablonsky may be once again involved in the music side of Paramount's latest Transformers: The Last Knight movie. Now, his Twitter account shows another clue in the rumour puzzle: a possible revised version of the Prime track from Revenge of the Fallen's score! Check out the image below, and speculate away in the Energon Pub.
Remember that news about legal action being taken against Paramount on behalf of Chinese businesses for stuff that went down during Transformers: Age of Extinction? We have an update, courtesy once again of The Hollywood Reporter: the media company will indeed have to pay a settlement to the Wulong Karst National Park. Read more below!
A Chinese court on Thursday ordered Viacom's Paramount Pictures and a Chinese production partner to pay $295,000, or 2 million yuan, including incurred legal fees, to a tourist resort in a breach of contract dispute over product placement in Transformers: Age of Extinction.
The court in Chongqing found that Paramount and Chinese partner 1905 failed to fulfill their major obligations under the agreement, but later partially made up for it, the South China Morning Post reported, quoting China National Radio.
The management company for the Wulong Karst National Geological Park had brought the lawsuit, saying the two sides had agreed that a logo of the resort would appear in the fourth Transformers film's final edit.
The defendants had admitted that the logo didn't make the film, but they tried to make up for that by allowing director Michael Bay to make an advertising spot for the resort and leaving behind items built for the film as tourist attractions.
The court rejected a counter claim filed by Paramount due to Wulong Karst’s decision to only pay part of the agreed-upon fees once it found out its name and logo did not appear in the film.
Is it over over for the filming of Transformers: The Last Knight? (Yes.) Director Michael Bay has taken to his own social media to thank cast and crew and London, as he heads back to the US, but the rest of the cast, from Anthony Hopkins, Mark Wahlberg, Josh Duhamel to Santiago Cabrera and Laura Haddock, also took some time to thank the shooting location, its people and more. Check out the video below!
Some more news from Paramount's official YouTube account, as they share a clip of a wrap up party ..for the vehicles involved in the filming of Transformers: The Last Knight. That's correct, the cars used for the alt-modes of Bumblebee, Crosshairs and Barricade had a bit of fashionable shindig, with photo ops but no comment. Check out 'The Last Night' clip below!
Via the Snakas toy blog, we have another potential look at the new Transformers: The Last Knight Optimus Prime figure - supposedly a voyager class toy, but more on that in a second - that we saw revealed in the colour test the other day. This new image seems to show the figure next to the Age of Extinction/Lost Age Leader class toy of Optimus in his knightly garb, so as far as we're concerned, the news is just adding confusion to the size matter. Still, check it out below!
