Paramount Pictures has released the first trailer and poster from the Transformers spin-off movies, titled BUMBLEBEE!
I’m giving into nostalgia here. Transformers are what I grew up on. I still remember buying Optimus Prime (like 5 times for reasons that I won’t get into, like my grandpa throwing ALL of my stuff away and I took care of everything LOL!). I want this franchise to succeed, but I want it to be different than what Michael Bay has put on the screen. I love what he has put out, but there’s something missing. Transformers: The Movie, the animated one just had something back in the 80’s that’s been missing from recent live-action movies. Hailee Steinfeld (who my daughter loves) will be a good addition to the Transformers universe. Director Travis Knight, who directed Kubo And The Two Strings looks like he’s adding a lot of “heart” into this series.
