Film Less splashing metal, more feeling: that is certainly the motto of the new ” Transformers-prequel, ‘Bumblebee’. We spoke with the cast and director of the most unique picture in the franchise.
With an admirable performance by the young Hailee Steinfeld (22) – the first female lead ever in a “Transformers” movie – and a funny note from John Cena (41), this is one of the must-see prints of 2019.
What previous ‘Transformers’: afterwards you can’t imagine where the one stops and the other begins. All 5 movies consisted mainly of combat sequences between the Autobots and the Decepticons, with here and there a other protagonist to variation in. ‘Bumblebee’ will, however, remember, because besides all that fighting is also a place is made for an honest, character-driven storyline.
“I wanted a new dimension to the franchise,” said director Travis Knight. He is best known for his animated films like ‘Coraline’ and ‘Kubo and the Magical Zwaad’. ‘Bumblebee’ is his live-action debut. “It is not just a robot-adventure, but also something deeply human thing to do.”
