Films from the "Transformers" series have been going downhill for a long time. This was the case until the spinoff "Bumblebee" garnered positive reviews from fans and critics alike. The folks at Paramount are probably going to go with the blow, as the latest reports suggest a shift in the studio's approach to the entire shapeshifting robot brand.
According to the information reached by Variety, Paramount studio is preparing two new films for Transformers fans about their favorite robots. One of them will be set in the same universe as Bumblebee , and the other will be created as part of the main series. According to the report, it is also supposed to be a cycle reboot. It is predicted that the first of these productions will be in a similar tone as the first spinoff and with a smaller budget. The new installment of the main series is to return to the style of a big blockbuster with a huge budget and famous names in the cast.
Recently, information about the next Transformers appeared in March last year. Then, in an interview with the Japanese website Cinema, producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura confirmed his work on the scripts for two films. One was to be a sequel to Bumblebee , and the other was to be a sequel to Transformers: The Last Knight, a painting from the main universe. Optimus Prime should appear in both productions.
Are the new reports referring to the same movies that Di Bonaventura spoke about last year? Perhaps. Especially when it comes to the installment related to the positively received spinoff.
