Transformers: The Last Knight underperformed in a big way when it opened last year but that didn't stop Paramount Pictures from forging ahead with a shared universe for the Autobots and Decepticons. The first spinoff on the way is Bumblebee, a movie with a very different sort of look and tone which promises to deliver a much different sort of adventure for the fan-favourite character.
That's evident from this fantastic new trailer which promises a very different take on the franchise after Michael Bay's explosive efforts. It's clear that the focus is being put on story over mindless action scenes and while there's not much John Cena in this teaser, we do get a brief glimpse of his character.
Bumblebee is produced by Transformers franchise veterans Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Michael Bay, along with executive producers Steven Spielberg, Brian Goldner and Mark Vahradian. Chris Brigham will also produce. The screenplay is written by Christina Hodson and directed by Travis Knight.
The movie stars Hailee Steinfeld, Pamela Adlon, John Cena, Stephen Schneider, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., Jason Drucker, Kenneth Choi, Ricardo Hoyos, Abby Quinn, Rachel Crow, and Grace Dzienny. What do you guys think of the trailer? Let us know your thoughts on this preview in the comments section.
