BUMBLEBEE Will Get an Early Release on December 8th
Paramount Pictures has decided to offer early screenings for the upcoming Transformers prequel film Bumblebee. The early screening will take place on only one day two weeks before its December 21st wide release. That day is on Saturday, December 8th.
This early screening comes with a little something for any one who attends as well. Each person will get what is called “bonus content.” There’s no word on what that “bonus content” will be, so we’ll just have to wait and see. You’ll also get a Transformers: Tiny Turbo Changers Movie Toy from Hasbro.
Tickets are currently on sale and can be purchased at BumblebeeMovie.com as well as participating theaters.
This is actually a really great way to market the film and build some buzz before the movie is released. The studio clearly loves the film and has enough confidence in it to want to do that.
Here’s the synopsis:
The film takes place in the year 1987, where, on the run, Bumblebee finds refuge in a junkyard in a small Californian beach town. Charlie (Hailee Steinfeld), on the cusp of turning 18 and trying to find her place in the world, discovers Bumblebee, battle-scarred and broken. When Charlie revives him, she quickly learns this is no ordinary, yellow VW bug. In addition to Steinfeld, the film stars John Cena, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., John Ortiz, Jason Drucker, Pamela Adlon, and Stephen Schneider.
