What's going on guys? RBG here bringing you an update on the latest Transformers film. It
feels so weird saying this because there's always these huge gaps in time when it comes to updates
which in all honesty i don't know the particular reason why the news has been so scarce like you
think it has something to do with the pandemic and to a certain extent it has somewhat affected
productions but this stuff has been going on for quite a while before the outbreak even started
paramount and hasbro have been so vague and essentially left us in the dark when it comes
to the future of the transformers film franchise but things seem to be picking up and we got more
news to go over regarding the next installment so stay tuned now before we get started on the

status of the newest transformers film a lot of you guys have probably been wondering where the
production team stands in terms of the direction they want to go in with the franchise because
they haven't necessarily hit their strides since michael bay officially stepped down from the films
like the future has always been dim for these movies because if you remember there were multiple
times where base said that he would retire from the transformers projects and move on to doing
other things the first time he said he'd take a break from the franchise was shortly after tf2
but paramount begged him to come back to direct dark the moon after they mistakenly announced
that the movie would come out in 2011 instead of 2012 which was the official release year
during the production of dark and the moon michael bay stated that he wouldn't return for a fourth
installment because the movies were becoming too taxing for him with every entry he has to outdo
himself and go bigger so understandably so he was experiencing burnout not to mention he was still
coming hot off the hills of revenge of the fallen that was critically panned but after negotiating
a deal with lorenzo de van devon ventura in paramount he returned for age of extinction
he promised that would be the last tf film he will work on but he will ultimately return to
do transformers to last night which ironically enough was his final round at the movies and the
lowest performing movie in the franchise losing paramount in hasbro over a hundred million dollars
so that was a bit of a bummer once things seemed to be on the right track and travis knight knocked
it out of the park with bumblebee things suddenly came to a halt we didn't get any updates on that
this would be the new direction for the film franchise moving forward not to mention that
travis knight announced that he wouldn't be returning to do another movie like it really
seems like paramount is looking for that one guy who could not only help the directorial spot for
transformers but also revamp the perception of the franchise because they've garnered a
negative reception and they aren't really that box house of juggernauts they used to be all in
all we just want to know what the direction these movies are going to go in are we going to get that
rise of the unicron film which is rumored to be the official sequel to transform us to last night
or are we going to get the sequel to bumblebee inquiring minds want to know man and apparently
it looks like we won't be receiving either because according to deadline this next installment will
be a reboot this article was shared via tfw 2005 and it reads itself paramount in hasbro has tapped
stephen cable jr to direct the next transformers live action movie after meeting with several top
execs including paramount motion picture president emma watts the studio saw capo as the best fit for
the franchise that the studio chose to revamp at the top of the year in january the studio made
the decision to give the entire franchise a revamp by having two stimulus scripts that are in active
development one by james vanderbilt and one by jolly herald harold's film eventually would be
chosen as the next installment in the franchise and once he had given his final touches on the
script at the end of the summer the studio began taking director's pitches on the next film so as
you hear it looks like it took paramount a lot of time to come to this decision because if you guys
remember there was originally an announcement that we were getting three films that were in the works
it was just a few months ago that we had gotten word that we'd be getting an animated prequel for
transformers by the guy who directed toy story 4 and there seemed to be plans to capitalize
off the positive reception bumblebee got with an inevitable sequel but it looks like we're getting
a reboot that would be the official starting point for the live-action universe going forward i know
a lot of you are probably wondering if this means bumblebee will ultimately be scrapped since we are
getting this reboot because the article basically denotes that the production team had to choose on
if they wanted to do bumblebee 2 beast wars or this new reboot for the next film but i honestly
think that they'll still continue it in one form or another considering the fact that bumblebee was
essentially a soft reboot to the original bay universe i wouldn't be surprised if the execs
ultimately came to the decision of fully rebooting the series just so they could get as far away from
the bay verse altogether because i don't believe the audience has officially been won over yet
especially after being let down so many times from the earlier entries although bomb would be
garners a generally positive reception it still had things to hate such as the comedy with some
of the human characters particularly with the main character charlie's family so paramount and hasbro
still have a lot of work to do when it comes to convincing the audience to get back on board
i noticed there's this big divide in regards to what the fans want you have fans who still
want those huge in your face transformers films that the bay films have introduced
even though bay's style is what ultimately led to the transformers film's downfall
it was what brought the transformers brand more mainstream relevance than it's ever had like you
have to remember that the transformers hype had started fizzled out shortly after the beast wars
by the time the unicron trilogy rolled around things were at their lowest but the bay films
brought new and old fans back to the franchise leaving us wanting more and there's still an
audience that yearns for that visual noise that the bay films have introduced but on the flip side
you have the old school fans who just want the films to actually do the lord justice we know that
there is more than enough material to work with that'll make for an awesome movie if done right
and you can't go wrong with the more classical designs bumblebee was a prime example that the
g1 style can translate to live action perfectly and look just as cool as the bay farmers there's
also the idw comics that have mastered the art of keeping the characters familiar yet modernized
anyways regarding the newly anointed director stephen cappell jr before creed 2 came out i had
never heard of this guy i think he did a pretty good job picking up where the original director
ryan coogler left off with creed but i'm still somewhat concerned because while the director has
complete control over the quote unquote direction of the film they don't necessarily write the
script for the films which are what decides if the story will be good or not the script that
was ultimately chosen is being done by a guy who hasn't had the best track record as of late the
last movie he wrote for was king arthur legend of the sword and that movie was a flop but apparently
paramount and hasbro see great promise in this guys so hopefully he's written something that
does a huge service to the transformers franchise if they're going to come with this alleged reboot
then it really needs to hit out the gate we need to get a solid introduction to all the
transformers robots and make it to where they're the stars and not the humans they're protecting
steven cappell jr really needs to get that aspect down if he wants to revitalize this franchise
while yes bumblebee was the lowest grossing live-action transformers movie at the box office
it feels like the better course of action would be to make another movie based in the bumblebee
universe the film ended on a big note with optimists arriving to meet b as they watch
the other autobots make their way through the earth's atmosphere leaving us wondering how
things will play out this time around and i'm personally bummed that the beast wars won't be
the next installment man because there's a lot of things they can do with that particular lore like
if they're looking to reboot the franchise beast wars would be the best starting point it's become
such a niche part of the transformers lord that not that many people know about it nowadays not
to mention that if you want to completely change it up why not go with the robots who can turn into
animals instead of cars it's something that hasn't necessarily been done yet in live action form
and i just want to prove to those close-minded g-wonders who never gave the show a chance in
the first place that there is an audience who will embrace it and maybe they'll ultimately embrace it
i don't think people realize how much peace wars contributed to the transformers brand
let alone the lore you got things like the protoforms that were originally introduced in bw
and the shows responsible for introducing the concept of the spark to the tf mythos so i find
it funny that some of the naysayers claimed that the show sucked or that it was a low point of the
transformers when in actuality it expanded on a lot of things and introduced people like me to the
transformers franchise i'm hoping that the script the producers we're working on is still an actual
thing and will ultimately see it somewhere down the line until then we have this new reboot to
look forward to and with that i'm gonna go ahead and bring this video to a close what do you guys
think about this new transformers film receiving a reboot do you think they should have continued
with the bay verse or made a sequel to bumblebee and how do you feel about the director that's been
brought on board let me know in the comments below as always i ask you like or dislike the video it
doesn't have to be a thumbs up it can be a thumbs down any feedback is good feedback will only help
me improve on my channel but if you really enjoyed the video it would help your boy out tremendously
if you shared with all your friends and followers on social media sharing really makes a difference
but once again this is your boy rbg signing out on another video i'll catch you guys later peace out
