True Grit star and masturbation advocate Hailee Steinfeld in talks to star in the Travis Knight's 2018 1980s-set Bumblebee movie. Her character is apparently a female mechanic, just like Mikaela and Izabel.

(i kinda figured it wasn't actually 3 hours long because Paramount would not let their big summer hit be 3 hours long because it would cost them a lot a lot of money)

edit: I am kinda curious how it can be shorter than the last 3 movies by a lot because RotF was literally a minute longer than the OG Transformers. My guess is that this one comes in at 135 or so. Definitely not longer than 145.

The 3+ hour running time rumor was clearly started by Bay haters in order to diminish opening weekend numbers.

idk how you can be on page #62 of this thread and want to see Bay harmed. We're all well past grief and anger, deep into acceptance that he's the one of the best action directors to ever live and a perfect fit for this stupid franchise.

By the looks of things, the anti-Transformers group has gone from a CIA Black Ops kill squad to something with a lot more presence, funding and actual jurisdiction? Even Lennox is involved with them.

Not surprising. Something had to replace NEST and the CIA kill squad to deal with the Cybertronian menace, and if they're so public/accountable now that they can't simply kill every Cybertronian they find then you can't really do worse than Lennox. He probably has more experience than anyone else in dealing with Cybertronians militarily and socially.

I'm pretty sure he didn't appear in TF4.

But, as of this one, he'll be the non-robot character to appear in the most number of films, I believe. TF1, 2, 3 and 5.

I personally will be contributing at least $15 when I go see it on the biggest screen within driving distance of my house. And I work at a theater. But our screens are not big enough.

Transforming into a Volkswagen van bus probably helps. Who would expect bank robbers to be driving that? By the way, really missed opportunity if Baby Driver does not have a bank heist escape using one of them.

It's kind of funny that after all the effort they went into on the first firm making it so that the parts matched up between modes, this is just :effort: where the wings shrink and then just vanish when they're almost (but not quite) hidden behind his back.

It's the thing I really dislike about the later films. I loved that stuff in the first three films.

I'm not sure why they even bother having them transform. Oh right the name of the movie, gently caress.

Just have them transform from one ugly robot into another slightly less ugly root.
