Transformers: The Last Knight Isabela Moner on Filming with Michael Bay

New Optimus CG render:

Kinda blurry. Looks a bit like one of those collector-aimed display statues.

I'm guessing it was cut out from here:



Which I'm pretty sure was the convention where they showed off Optimus's figure for TLK.

Yep, that was among the stuff in the video that we shared with the reveal

Transformers: The Last Knight has teased its IMAX trailer for some time now. And it looks like it's about time for that teasing to pay off.

We bring to you a pair of news closely related regarding the upcoming IMAX trailer. The first piece of news is that the trailer has been officially classified by Alberta Film Classifications. Alberta Film Classifications is a very reliable site with regards to film and trailer classifications, and they usually classify a film that is set to show a trailer within 1 week. The classification reads:

Transformers: The Last Knight (IMAX exclusive trailer)
Rated: PG (the trailer, not the film)
Classification date: 11/15/2016
Running time: 2:01
Distributor: Paramount Pictures

Coupling onto that, we also bring to you news that the trailer will be available online at some poit in time after its IMAX release. This can be proven by an internet classification by the Ontario Film Authority. Unlike the Alberta Film Classifications listing, we have no idea when the internet trailer will be released; all we can say for sure is that it will be sometime after the IMAX trailer. You can find the classification information below:

Date Classified: Nov 15, 2016
Film Number: 2000130300
Distributor / Submitter / Exhibitor: PARAMOUNT PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT CANADA ULC
Running Time (min): 2
Format: INTERNET
Language: ENGLISH
Classification: PARENTAL GUIDANCE
Detailed Observations: Restrained portrayals of non-graphic violence

As a closer, we can give you a good guess as to which IMAX film might carry this trailer. For all you Harry Potter fans out there, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them may very well be the source of this first trailer for The Last Knight.

Now that you have the low-down, tell us what you think in the comments section below of this news!

Couldn't care less, it's already RUINED FOREVER!

They always release movies here a day early. Could this mean the trailer might be shown Thursday rather than Friday?

Via fellow Seibertronian Madeus Prime, we have a new clip featuring mostly old footage, about the relationship between Paramount's live-action Transformers movies and IMAX. Embedded below, you can see some clips of the past four movies, from the 2007 one to Revenge of the Fallen, to Dark of the Moon and Age of Extinction, in preparation for The Last Knight, due summer 2017. Commentary by Greg Foster, CEO of IMAX entertainment, director Michael Bay, Lorne Orleans.

The kick? There is actually some very new footage in here, from the fifth film, featuring knigts, explosions, Cybertronian terrain, Bumblebee and Barricade, and more. Check it out!

Is this the "trailer" that was supposed to come out on Friday?

"The best cinema experience of the world"? Yeah, no. Not even close. For one thing, you actually need a story for that.

How is there not a story?

Pretty sure they were talking in a visual sense, not a narrative sense.

Even so... all the shakey cam and excess kind of negate that.

It's not like the camera man is having a seizure in the shots that do have the "shaky cam." There's not much of it at all.

Is it Friday? Is it a trailer?
Where's the cat? Where's the cradle?

Via the Transformers Twitter account and Micheal Bay himself, we have a release date for The Last Knight's teaser trailer: December 16! That's right folks. Star Wars: Rogue One will be the movie that shows off the first teaser trailer for the upcoming movie.

This was revealed via a very brief 15 second video showing off Micheal Bay in front of the movie's logo and making the announcement.

With that in mind, You all have an even greater reason to go out and see the new Rogue One movie December 16. So get your tickets and prepare for an experience!

Can't wait.

Thanks for ruining my Star Wars experience, Bay. Why don't you just come over & take a dump right in my popcorn while you're at it?

You could always get to the theater room a few minutes later so as to miss the previews but be right on time for the start of the movie. That would give you a little extra free time to get some popcorn or drinks or other snacks or use the restroom or do whatever you need to do before the movie to get ready for it. You're not obligated to get there early enough for the previews.

But if you're concerned about having to get there early enough for good seating, then get there early enough to grab good seats, have a friend watch your seat for you while you go get your stuff from the snack line or use the restroom or get a drink from the water fountain or whatever all during the previews, and then come back to your seat after doing all that once the previews are winding down to get ready for the movie to start. Problem solved.

I don't like the movies either but that's a bit ridiculous.

So when does Rogue 1 (and the trailer) come out again? mid-December?

Lol it was intended to be ridiculous! I wont see that movie vie cinema either way, based on previous Bayformers experiences. I'll purposely download it illegally to view, only out of curiosity, rather than give Bay the satisfaction of receiving royalties from my cinema ticket.

I thought last weekend there would be footage???
Well, one more month then

Offtopic:
Could the Movie news (I mean spoilers) be clicked on instead of just shown in the News Section?

Good Day my

I came across a video from Michael Bay of him mentioning that the Transformers TLK teaser trailer will be released on December 16 with Rouge One a Star Wars Story. I have added the link from TF_PR with the video to see yourselves.

Indeed! We reported this here: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... ced/36759/

A very minor update on Transformers: The Last Knight comes to us via cast member Josh Duhamel and his social media feeds - on Twitter, he shared that he's currently on the USS Carl Vinson in San Diego, and through Instagram we get to see the extras (mostly military) also on the ship. You can also kind of figure out what team he supports in the upcoming Vikings vs Cowboys match. Kinda.



video!

According to various sources, but mostly the official Twitter account, the first trailer for the upcoming Paramount live-action movie Transformers: The Last Knight will be airing on Monday 5th December. They posted a short clip - which you can check out below - to lay the tracks for the hype train. Set your DVRs, grab your remotes, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more as it happens!

video!

H Y P E

I'm hyped...for the trailer.
The trailers are always good.
Better then the movies themselves sadly.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY!!!!!!! I can't wait for this shit!

All aboard the last knight hype train now leaving iacon station departing for kaon

YAY!!! FINALLY! Now maybe it will all make sense....or maybe not.

All i have to say about this is, The Russell Crowe Show

I'm pumped!

Is it just me, or does this look a hell of a lot like Ironhide? It looks like a few pieces of excess armor are missing, but the facial structure is strikingly similar. One side of his face is even more busted than the other, just like Ironhide.

There is a TON of stuff packed into that trailer-for-a-trailer. If you guys freeze frame it at several points, you'll see all kinds of neat behind-the-scenes artifacts.

I'll watch it, but my hope is low on the final result. There will be screams, explosion, messy fights, and very poor scenario (if only I could be wrong).
Too bad cause I love transformers, but the only decent movie I can find was back in 1986. Will we ever see Unicron in a live action movie ?

I thought the trailer was gonna be with Rogue One? So I don't have to waste more money on Star Wars to see the trailer of a film I actually want to see? Good (The Force Awakens was bad fan-fiction crud).

I've loved all the TF movies even just for the awesome robots, gorgeous cars and lovely photography. I'm done with Titans and looking forward to new movie toys.

Just a heads up. If anyone comes across this video thinking it's the new trailer, don't be fooled, it's one of the many fake ones out there.

Someone posted it elsewhere as a fun joke, and some thought it might be the real deal.

While we wait for new trailer to drop, we have some news on the international partnerships that Paramount is tying with distribution and marketing, for Transformers: The Last Knight but not only - specifically in China, according to China Film Insider. After last time's issues with 1905 Internet Technology and the various deals in the Asian country, it looks like Huahua Media will be signing on with the US studios for the fifth Michael Bay film alongside other US productions - find out more below, and here for the full piece!

Huahua Media has become an exclusive partner in China with Paramount Pictures for the roll-out of Transformers:The Last Knight (变形金刚5：最后的骑士), the next installment in the billion-dollar blockbuster franchise based on the Hasbro toy line.

Details of the deal are still unclear but a statement released by the two-year-old Chinese company trumpeted the deal as particularly groundbreaking for an agreement between a Chinese and a US company in the film industry.

Huahua CEO Wang Kefei joined Paramount’s Chairman and Chief Executive Brad Grey, Megan Colligan, worldwide president of marketing and distribution, and Nic Crawley, President of International Marketing & Distribution to ink the deal in Shanghai on Thursday.

The agreement most likely means that the company will be replacing 1905 Internet Technology as Paramount’s Chinese production partner for the franchise.

While we're at it, and still building up to the trailer reveal, Collider has compiled some information about the upcoming fifth live-action movie from Paramount and Michael Bay - Transformers: The Last Knight. Some of this news is not news, some of it is more detailed that previous coverage, and some is just speculation, but still potentially spoiler-filled, so steer clear if you're not into that sort of experience.

The information relates to the Bumblebee spinoff, the animated Cybertron movie, the plans for a sixth and seventh film in the series, Grimlock's return, the Transformers Response Force, characters for the cast members, Sqweeks,

We've selected a couple of juicier bits from the list of 45, but you can still find the full piece here. Read on if you're so inclined!

• Producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura says The Last Knight is going to explore the mythology of how Transformers “were created, where did it start, where did they go from being a sort of a slave-race to a sentient race–we’re delving into that aspect of the mythology, so the characters that are involved in there are Megatron before he’s Megatron, Optimus before he’s Optimus, the Librarian, the Quintessons, there’s a whole group of things that have to do with how, in a sense, the Transformers were birthed, and also with how they were divided. What brought up the division, and what were the jealousies involved.”
  
• The film will have two parallel stories that are leading to the same place, all surrounding one mythology. Di Bonaventura said, “They’re part of the same mythology, but the fact that these two pieces could interrelate, and have quite a span in time in which we’re trying to draw from–one is, in the Transformers’ mythology, billions of years ago, and one is hundreds of years ago, so in that sense, those two ideas came together. At first, we thought maybe they were two different movies, and then they came together.”
  
• Regarding how much The Last Knight sets up the Bumblebee spinoff and future sequels, Di Bonaventura says, “you’ve got to be careful with that stuff, because then you start thinking about the other movies and not about the one you’re making. I would say, we definitely spent some time going “How does this link up and where are these other things going to go?” So I think in their initial construction in the writer’s room, and the initial sort of thinking, we spent a lot of time on that, thinking about the interrelationship.” He went on to say, “some of the things will have a very direct relationship. You’ll see some things in here that are laying a pipe. You won’t necessarily know that it’s laying a pipe for another movie, but it’s there. So there’s probably, in a really meaningful way, two or three things in this movie that really have a meaningful aspect…and then there’s a bunch of little things. But we’re not making this movie to set up the other movies.”
  
• With Paramount and Hasbro hoping to make a number of future Transformers movies, Di Bonaventura revealed they have outlines for six and seven. However, they haven’t started writing the scripts because they didn’t want to rush them and needed to see how The Last Knight would change during filming.
  
• Santiago Cabrera plays a mercenary who’s out to get all the Transformers. He says, “I was a SEAL but I’ve retired and I’m on contract, I’ve been hired –The TRF (stands for the Transformers Response Force) has been formed to fight the Transformers, so my orders are I don’t care if they’re Autobots or Decepticons, we gotta stop this war. So I’m a team leader and I’ve come with my team to fight them and what I find and when I see Cade Yeager is harboring them he becomes the enemy basically.”
  
• Josh Duhamel says NEST is not part of the film. During an interview, he revealed that it’s a bit of a mystery who he is working for in the film. He explained, “Am I with the US military, the Army, or am I working with a group that’s trying to eradicate all Transformers? Not just Decepticons, but all of them. There’s a bit of a struggle between myself and Santiago Cabrera, and then we’re also working against [Mark] Wahlberg’s character in this. Because he’s definitely working with the Autobots. It’s just a lot of big fun movie shit that we get to do. And what brought me back personally is the fact that you get to do stuff that you don’t get to do anywhere else. Michael [Bay] does stuff bigger than anybody I’ve ever worked with, for sure.”
  
• Isabela Moner describes her character as a tomboy and says when we meet her she’s homeless and joins Mark Wahlberg and the team in defeating the Deceptions. She’s also the one that brings Sqweeks, who is a mini-Transformer Vespa, into the group as they’ve been together for a while. Apparently Sqkweeks is broken, so the only thing he can say is chihuahua. Moner’s character lost her family in the battle of Chicago.
  
• Hot Rod is in the film and he’s got a French accent, but he’s not from France. Bay said “he just likes the accent.”

Umm. . .
“There was something that happened where an Autobot gets killed, and they go, ‘Nope. We will not participate.’ It’s by accident, but they go, ‘Nope, we won’t participate.’

THAT's scary. Please don't be Bumblebee, please don't be Bumblebee. . .

Read what that says again. It says the DoD refused to cooperate if Bay were to have done that, so he couldn't do that.

Hot Rod has a french accent? That's weird to me cos when I was a kid and we used to play Transformers at school (in the roleplay capacity rather than the toys) it was the french kid who always got to be Hot Rod for some reason. Except that one time he was off sick and I got to be HR.



I'm actually excited for this film more than any other movie of 2017 (with only Logan being on my movie radar as such). Still bloody love that poster too.

Sure enough, it does! Thank goodness too, because I really don't want to see another Autobot die the way Ratchet did.

I will do my best to remain politely interested in both Rogue One and The last Knight though it takes quite an effort of will on my part - but I guess there is something to both - i'm not sure what yet it might just be a few space ships flying around and a cool dragon (hopefully). but I'm not going to set my expectations higher than that as it's expectations set on Disney (who I have no trust in) and Michael Bay who isn't exactly known for his coherent story telling at the best of times.

how baytard comes up with his ideas....

I know this is may not be true, but Hot Rod with a french accent? Why? Is he going to be a car from France or did he just end up in France? Anyways I can't wait till the trailer comes out later tonight.

No one friggen cares about your opinions on Bay so why do you and others spew this garbage and pollute the internet with your god damn opinions.

I'd reckon you and your mongrel kind are more trash then Bay has ever acted.

Just an FYI for everyone tonight: be wary of fake trailers, we already had a fake one show up!
