New BUMBLEBEE Still Puts The Spotlight On Hailee Steinfeld And The Fan-Favorite Bug
A brand new official image from Transformers spinoff Bumblebee has been released and it offers up a look at star Hailee Steinfeld alongside a certain fan-favourite Bug! Hot the jump to check it out...
The Transformers franchise has become way too big and after the disappointing performance of The Last Knight, it's clear that moviegoers are becoming sick of the franchise. Now, the hope is to reignite the long-running series with a number of spinoffs, the first of which will be Bumblebee starring Hailee Steinfeld and John Cena. As you can see, we have a very cool image from that movie down below.
Talking about his plans for Bumblebee, director Travis Knight (Kubo And The Two Strings) tells Empire, "I wanted to approach this massive, expansive franchise and really focus in on a tiny corner of the canvas. Everything I've tried to do at Laika, searching for an artful blend of darkness and light, intensity and warmth, humour and heart, I wanted to bring to the Transformers franchise."
"At its core it's just a beautiful love story between two broken souls who find each other and heal each other," he adds. "I grew up loving those classic Spielbergian Amblin films. And we're trying to evoke that kind of emotion in this movie, fusing a rich coming-of-age story with some sci-fi insanity." It sounds very different then and while this image doesn't reveal much, it is pretty intriguing!
