New Trailer and Poster for TRANSFORMERS ONE - "All for One... and One Will Fall"
Paramount Pictures has released a new trailer and poster for Transformers One, and it gives us a much better idea of what this movie is going to deliver to fans. The trailer made its big debut at Comic-Con
A lot of fans didn’t care for the first trailer as they were disappointed with the tone and direction that the creative team took it. It came off like it would be a silly movie geared toward little kids.
Well, there may be more than meets the eye to this movie as the first reactions to come out for the movie have been overly positive. Everyone who has watched this film has loved it. I have yet to see a negative review!
When previously talking about the first trailer, director Josh Cooley explained: “The trailer definitely leads into the comedy of it and shows the fun of these characters together. Which was actually very easy to do. It wasn't like we set out to make a comedy, but it was setting out to make a film for everyone.”
This new trailer gives us a clearer look at Cooley’s vision for the film and the story, and it’s a much better trailer than the first one, but there are still some things that bug me. Regardless, after reading the reviews, maybe this movie will actually deliver the goods.
The director also explained that the movie will feature real danger. He said: “But there's real stakes that we're not showing yet in the trailer that has the epic scale and adventure and action that we know about Transformers films.”
He added: “There's a lot of danger. There's some real danger in this film. Yeah. And there's always that, like we talked about earlier, that ticking time bomb of when's this relationship going to fall apart between Orion and D-16.”
This movie tells the “origin story of how the most iconic characters in the Transformers universe, Orion Pax and D-16, went from brothers-in-arms to become sworn enemies, Optimus Prime and Megatron.”
The film stars Chris Hemsworth as Orion Pax / Optimus Prime, Brian Tyree Henry as D-16 / Megatron, Scarlett Johansson as Elita-1, and Keegan-Michael Key as B-127 / Bumblebee.
Producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura previously said: "This is … the origin story of young Megatron and young Optimus. If you know the origin, they started as friends, and over time things devolved for them and they ended up on two sides.
“So we're telling the young Optimus and the young Megatron story. We really are telling the origin story of all Transformers, both what they were at the beginning of it, to how they grow, to how they grow apart."
This will be the first of what Di Bonaventura calls a "natural trilogy,” and it’s going to explore “Cybertron in a way you've never seen it, that no one's ever seen it before.”
Transformers One will hit theaters on September 20th.
