Action-Packed Trailer for TRANSFORMERS: RISE OF THE BEASTS - "Power Is Primal"
Paramount Pictures has dropped the first teaser trailer for the next film in the Transformers film franchise, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. The trailer shows off some pretty epic action sequences as the Autobot heroes face off with a threat that’s unlike anything they’ve faced before.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is being directed by Steven Caple Jr. (Creed II) and stars Anthony Ramos, Dominique Fishback, Luna Lauren Valez, Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime, and Ron Perlman as Optimus Primal.
The synopsis reads: “Returning to the action and spectacle that have captured moviegoers around the world, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will take audiences on a ‘90s globetrotting adventure and introduce the Maximals, Predacons, and Terrorcons to the existing battle on earth between Autobots and Decepticons.”
Did they ever leave the “action and spectacle” aspect of the franchise? I guess, the last film Bumblebee took a step back and focused on the story and characters, and it ended up being the best Transformers movie that was made. So, I guess they mean they are going back to more of that Michael Bayhem style of action.
The movie looks like it’s going to deliver that big-scale entertainment! It looks like fun, but I hope that they also manage to also tell a solid story. We’ll find out soon enough. I do love the designs of the Transformers and it’s great to see Arcee in action!
When previously talking about the movie, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura said, "We wanted to give the audience a lot of new (elements). We have exhausted I would say the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons. How do we find a new set of villains and priorities, saving the world is left to the Autobots and in this case the Maximals. Part of the new news, if you've seen the other movies, you're going to see villains you've never seen before and a lot of elements we've never done before."
The director added, "We wanted to expand the universe, you have the Autobots and the Decepticons, and I would say my new flair to this is the Terracons. The Terracons are a new threat to Optimus Prime, and it's something I pride myself on when entering the franchise. I've done Rocky with Creed, and you bring the nostalgia that fans want, but also bring something they aren't expecting, and the Terracons are that."
The film arrives in theaters June 9, 2023. Check out the trailer and let us know what you think, are you excited about watching it?
