Transformers: The Last Knight underperformed in a big way when it opened earlier this year but that hasn't stopped Paramount Pictures from forging ahead with a shared unicerse for the Autobots and Decepticons. The first spinoff on the way is Bumblebee, a movie with a very different sort of look and tone which promises to deliver a much different sort of adventure for the fan-favourite character.
Now, an official synopsis has been released, and it says: "On the run in the year 1987, Bumblebee finds refuge in a junkyard in a small Californian beach town. Charlie (Hailee Steinfeld), on the cusp of turning 18 and trying to find her place in the world, discovers Bumblebee, battle-scarred and broken. When Charlie revives him, she quickly learns this is no ordinary, yellow VW bug."
Bumblebee is produced by Transformers franchise veterans Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Michael Bay, along with executive producers Steven Spielberg, Brian Goldner and Mark Vahradian. Chris Brigham will also produce. The screenplay is written by Christina Hodson and directed by Travis Knight.
The movie stars Hailee Steinfeld, Pamela Adlon, John Cena, Stephen Schneider, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., Jason Drucker, Kenneth Choi, Ricardo Hoyos, Abby Quinn, Rachel Crow, and Grace Dzienny. What do you guys think of the synopsis? Let us know your thoughts on these details in the comments section.
