The succeeding years are shaping up to be the golden era of filmmaking, and Michael Bay is making his creation one of the standards of cinematography. "Transformers: The Last Knight" is going to be the fifth installment of the 10-year saga, and Bay is leaving no stone unturned to make sure everyone realizes this milestone.
Bay is not someone who'd like to be left behind in terms of getting his film noticed, and so, he took to the "Transformers" official Facebook account to announce when fans are going to get a glimpse of what to expect. "I am at the IMAX theater right now. I want to tell you, because I could read your comments, the teaser is coming Dec. 16 on 'Star Wars,' okay? So look forward to it," Bay mentioned in a video.
The fact that he emphasized he was at the IMAX theater, not just through what he said but also in the venue of the video, shows how tight the partnership is. This also goes to show that fans will once again see the visual spectacle that made Bay and his creations legends.
The IMAX partnership featurette gives behind-the-scenes footage of how the "Transformers" movies were being made. Bay exhibits his genius by shooting the actual film while injecting the effects all at the same time, promising that he will continue to bring an experience unlike no other with his unique directing style.
It is also worth noticing that aside from familiar scenes in previous "Transformers" installments, there are cutscenes involving medieval knights and the historic Stonehenge. This may give the idea that the fifth film may be set in a distant past, or perhaps events would bring the characters back in time. Fans will have to wait until the teaser is aired, but until then one can argue the concept captures the imagination of viewers.
According to Forbes, the featurette demonstrates why, despite bad reviews from critics, viewers still come to see Bay's creations. The vivid and intricate details of how a truck turns into a towering humanoid robot are something that always captures the attention of many audiences, thus it continues to bask in success.
"Transformers: The Last Knight" brings back well-loved characters such as Mark Wahlberg, John Turturro, Stanley Tucci and Josh Duhamel. The film also welcomes newcomers Laura Haddock and Anthony Hopkins, Screen Crush has learned.
The movie is set to premiere on June 23, 2017.
