China film insider has found proof that the Chinese version of the film Transformers: The Last Knight will be longer than the English version, by 2 minutes. We have the specific quote below and you can read the full article here.

An official distribution notice sent to Chinese exhibitors was released online Thursday showing a running time of 150 minutes for the film — two minutes more than the 148-minute version playing in the rest of the world. It’s unclear what the extra two minutes in the Chinese version includes.

Domestic air carrier based in Guangxi China, GX Airlines, is involved in a promotional campaign with Transformers: The last Knigh. Their Airbus plane has been fully decorated both inside and outside with Last Knight motifs, especially Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. These photos were found on news.haohaoyun.com.

Megatron needs a crew of Decepticons with attitude and he picks Mohawk (Who talks via Reno Wilson!), Dreadbot (Who robs banks) and...Bumblebee?

Fellow Seibertronian Clockwork Animation has sent us notification of two more spots for Transformers: The Last Knight, featuring some added footage of the Decepticon crew in the movie (with Megatron 'introducing' Mohawk and Dreadbot) among other things, and Chinese subs and final announcement from YouXin.

The other clip is another of the 'funnies' from the marketing team, riffing on Bumblebee's lack of actual speech in a singing recording session. Check them both our below!

It's just edited shorter like that for the spot but presumably it will be correct in the movie.

Also notice how Dreadbot doesn't have any of the Rusty van kibble in that scene?

I don't know witch part is the most shocking here... Megatron making "deal" with Humans? Megatron actually knowing some of his soldiers? Megatron actually leading? As awkward as circumastances are ,it actually seems that this time they try to give Decepticons some characterisation.

I think it's the other way around with the humans making Megatron a deal.

Not really feeling the name "Dreadbot", it sounds like an early pre-production name. This is one of those instances where I wouldn't have minded a name-slap, even the name of some lesser known Armada Mini-Con would do.

His name was apparently supposed to be "Hooligan" but it was probably changed for the same reason Slag has been renamed into Slug since Hooligan is an inappropriate word in some places.

Dreadbot was probably made up in a hurry.

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Prowl4, Seibertron can give the exclusive news that actor and comedian Omar Sy will be voicing the autobot Hot Rod in the upcoming movie The Last Knight! This news comes thanks to the aforementioned Prowl4's twitter conversation with Sy, where the latter gives a very definite 'yes'. Tell us if you're excited for this casting choice in the forums!

Omar Sy is a fantastic actor.

I am more and more baffled by the type of cast going into these projects.

2 extra minutes sounds like that might cover credits for Chinese voice actors if they've dubbed the thing. I don't know if they dub or sub movies there. I wouldn't think it would take 2 mins to credit them for subs.

And im assuming that germany has similar laws to the US banning civilians from driving a car with the words "police" on it in the streets, so I doubt these cars were driven in. They even had the hoods up for display purposes so they were obviously towed in and parked with somebody's permission to attract business. Im calling fake on the whole police report thing. The cops were probably actors and towing the cars away was a big publicity stunt. Suprised you news guys believed this was a legit auto impounding. Cmon now...

'fraid it's real. Charges are listed, laws broken are listed, etc. and there's been nothing to the contrary. If this does indeed turn out to be confirmed as a big PR stunt, we'll post an updated story to reflect that - but right now, everything's saying this is real.

Should have linked the actual facebook post though. Editing!

Im still calling BS....

Even if thats the offical Facebook page of a particular German police department, a Facebook page is not a place for police to post pictures of actual "crime" photos no matter how funny the case might seem. It would have to be treated like any other regular case to avoid a potential lawsuit. I wouldnt rely on Facebook as an official format to find public records either. Can we get a case number from an offical German public records website ? Also if German laws are anything like American laws, you can put any type of modification on a car without fear of being "confiscated" as long as you dont actually drive it. Thats where we get the term "street legal". You see non-street legal cars being towed to car shows or race tracks all the time. The cars were parked with their hoods up for display. They can be ticketed for non-moving violations but will not be towed unless it is a parking violation. Among the humorous charges mentioned in the article, being illegally parked was not mentioned. Also among the four photos posted, not one of them has a police officer and the tow truck picture conveniently doesnt show the company name. And to make it even more ovious the cars are being carefully lifted on the tow truck by a crane. Such care isnt taken when you park illegally. Thats some expensive equipment surely used to transport showcars to specific locations. Here's my take on it: Some bored cop who happens to be a TF fan started taking pictures on duty and posted a humorous story on the departments Facebook page to have some fun. Real pictures, fake news...

These Transformers films are quite intensive for Mark Wahlberg. With him having to train 5 months for this film, and this rumoured to be the final Transformers film from Michael Bay, it doesn't come as quite a shock that he has stated it would be his last one. He said so on the Graham Norton show and states that with these films behind him he can get his life back. This was pulled from a recount of the interview by Digital Spy.

Btw wasn't the IMAX version for at least one of the films(could've been for more than one...not sure?) a couple of mins longer than the standard theatrical release?

but...meh...we'll prob see those mins turn up in the extras section of the Blu Ray anyway

So with the voice cast now been officially announced(i'm sure the news staff will be putting up info about that shortly) it seems more name changes are afoot(after Hooligan/Dreadbot) now Wreck-Gar is called Daytrader & god knows who or what Volleybot is?

Yes, for the first two movies. Though, the first movie's extra IMAX footage never got released on DVD or Blu-Ray.

Michael Bay has posted some new images on his website, along with some that we have seen before. Some of the most notable in this set are Bumblebee getting in a fight and closeup of him interacting with some of the human cast. We have posted them down below for your viewing pleasure.

While you could have watched the Transformers: The Last Knight London Premiere live, we have many photos to share from this event that come from both Michael Bay's Flickr account and the official movie Instagram account. The images feature the cast, including Michael Bay, Laura Haddock, Isabela Moner, Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, Jerrod Carmichael, Freya the Dog, Josh Duhamel, plus of course, Sqweeks, Hound, Hot Rod, Drift and Optimus Prime.

Enjoy!

But they used this "The Final Chapter" thing already... Twice. Bay is leaving Transformers since 2011, why we should take this now seriously.

Right now, I'm waiting for another "Michael Bay changed his mind" news. I wonder what can it be this time :-?

After 10 years, Transformers without Micheal Bay sounds almost too good to be true. Even if we are watining for a better director since before first movie was relased.

Well, Bumblebee's spin-off isn't technically a main "Transformers" movie, so there is a risk, that until Transformers 2019, Michael Bay will decide to return, or that they decide to hire Jonathan Liebesman or someone similiar, so so movie would remain essentialy the same.

HELL NO! And I wouldn't want J.J. Abrams, Joss Whedon, or any other overrated self-important d-bag. Bring on someone who actually does science fiction for science fiction, not to try to simply achieve nerdgasms on screen. Too bad James Cameron is busy with the Avatar sequels. What is Ridley Scott doing? He's done with Alien and Blade Runner by now. Is he starting another Alien prequel so soon?

Brad Bird is a good choice for rich characterization.

Or if we wanted another director who specializes in stunning visuals (but coupled with an air of sophistication), Kenneth Branagh.

personally i reckon she should do a TF reboot movie - female led or not.

to be fair to michael bay, the first film was enjoyable and i think the FX work really did bring the concept to life. Unfortunately the franchise fell into a bigger faster more and more cycle that used to be a cliche in hollywood. Sequels have improved over the last decade and franchises have become enjoyable but not all are equal... For every Guardians of the Galaxy 2 there's Pirates...

I'd like a director who understands geek movies better - how characterisation, story and lore are all huge parts of the experience and not only action sequences.

I'll go and watch the last knight at the cinema with an open mind but low expectations. I'm very interested in watching a properly shot 3d movie and not one done in post... and if all else fails, hopefully Freya has some good screen time.
