A couple of news pieces regarding Transformers: The Last Knight have surfaced from a number of sources! First up, voice actor Reno Wilson - the voice of Frenzy, Mudflap, and Brains from previous movies - has been confirmed as returning to the fifth movie, in a yet undisclosed role.

Next, we have news of the Japanese dubbing for the movie - The Last Knight King, in translation - featuring Hanako Sakurai as Izabella (Isabela Moner's character), meaning that US production on the movie is indeed complete, and international distributors are working on their versions as I type.

And finally, keeping with humans, we have four new portraits from vk.transformers for the Earth side of the cast from the movie: Mark Wahlberg / Cade Yeager, Isabela Moner / Izabella, Laura Haddock / Vivian Wembly, Anthony Hopkins / Sir Edmund Burton. But also a couple profiles for Bumblebee and Optimus Prime, so you can now create your own photoshopped movie poster! Check them out below.

I've never been one for paintings and art and all that, but throw in an Autobot and you've got my interest.

(Should be the third one down)

Long story short, Ironhide gets placed in an 1815 painting in an art museum. Hilarity ensues.

Doh I wanted to post about it but I was at rehearsal and while I could see Twitter fine, I couldn't get onto Seibertron on my phone.

I loved this.

I hope it's not his name so people can get past that the names of the character has to mean something and not the characterization of them.

If he's a good character then it doesn't matter if his name was Wreck-Gar, Scrapheap or Pile-O-Garbage since he was a good character.

Just like how I don't personally care for the majority of Prime characters because their mostly badly written and how their "namesake" doesn't change my opinion.

The official website for Transformers: The Last Knight has added some set photos. A few of these have been seen before but there are some new ones. Some of the most interesting ones are Josh Duhamel with the military and Mark Wahlberg aiming his alien gun. (We don't think that is a very stable way to hold it though!) There is also a picture of Jarrod Carmichael and Isabela Moner looking startled at something, which makes us wonder what or who that something could be. Stay tuned!

The Daily Mail had interviewed Sir Anthony Hopkins about a number of different topics, including Transformers: The Last Knight. He seems to have enjoyed working on the film even though he does not know all of the lore about the series. It is very interesting to read his thoughts on the film.

Hopkins plays Sir Edmund Burton, the 12th Earl of Folgan, who has devoted his life to the study of the ancestries of humans and Transformers. He and Mark Wahlberg (as the hero Cade Yeager) team up to make an unlikely alliance to save the world from being destroyed by war between the Transformers and humans.

‘You’re not going to ask me to explain the plot are you?’ he says. ‘Because it’s so very complicated and there’s the whole mythology of four previous films that come into play. I have to admit, I don’t quite get all of it.

‘All I know is I play a highly educated, eccentric English lord. I had a terrific time making it. Mark Wahlberg was wonderful to work with, the locations were excellent [Northumberland, Norway, Arizona, the Isle of Skye and Stonehenge] and I showed up, put my costume on, said my lines and stayed out of trouble. That’s all I ever do. It beats working for a living.’

Hopkins is always at pains to destroy any smug ‘luvviness’ about the acting world. He loathes the painful intensity of the method actors, who insist on staying in character throughout filming (‘what a pain in the ass’) and repeats several times that ‘the greatest difficulty in this business is the sense of entitlement some people have just because of what they do’.

Included with the article is this photo of him with HotRod.

Another poster. Though it doesn't look much like a poster.

Via ParamountUK directly, we have another publicity stunt for Transformers: The Last Knight, riding on the fake historical photos - the secret past of the Transformers - we've seen show up in the rooms of Sir Edmund Burton (Anthony Hopkins) in the trailers. This specific one has a clip from Dulwich Picture Gallery, where the team added Ironhide to an 1815 painting, and the reaction of the crowd - check it out!

See the reactions of @DulwichGallery visitors when a Transformer mysteriously appeared in an 1815 painting over the weekend.

Also related to Transformers: The Last Knight - and following the recent news of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean hack issue - we have a snippet from a PGA event attended by producer Ian Bryce. The event saw PGA President Lori McCreary discussing the troubles with security for digital products, and the difference with print versions of the same. Check out the specifics below, and here for the whole piece!

McCreary, who admitted that her company had experienced a hack, urged caution and attention to this area, and Transformers: The Last Knight producer Ian Bryce agreed. “We don’t have prints,” he said. “We are sending [digital] footage [around the world to different countries], temp footage to final shots, and people are going to be after it. When you invested $150 million in a production, that’s risky.”

Of course. Let me double check the staff forum, if it's in there. (I'm still having problems with the e-mail, so I just kinda gave up on it. :oops:

18th June premiere? That's a Sunday. I couldn't get to London even if I wanted to cos lack of public transport here on that day. Also I'd be knackered cos it's show week for my local production of Dad's Army and on that Saturday in particular is tiring cos we got an afternoon and evening performance then the clear out and aftershow party. And yet I bet I'll still cycle the 5 or 6 miles to the car boot sale at about 6am the Sunday morning cos I don't want to miss out on any potential Transformers bargains. I'll see The Last Knight when it's easily available in Cambridge (still a tough journey for me to make at times but is nearest cinema with the comfy chairs of comfiness) hopefully on the 22nd.

For those not wanting spoilers the first premier for the movie is tomorrow although I don't if there is an embargo or not regarding if people can talk about the movie.

So if I wanted to avoid everything I would stay off starting tomorrow or the next day.

Can I ask why the older generations hate movie designs so much, but people my age love them for technical bits and bobs? I mean, you'd think the older generations would like machine parts more. Guess it's nostalgia getting the best of people. And I guess I'm starting to convert to the Bayverse robits cult.
