So just few days ago it was revealed that portion of the upcoming 2017 film Transformers: The Last Knight, will be set in World War II, with scenes featuring Nazis being filmed at London, however this sparked controversy, because of Bay decision to use the home of World War II veteran Winston Churchill, as the headquaters of Adolf Hitler, Bay has since defended this, pointing out that he would never disrespect an veteran, because he respects the army and always tries to put them in good light on his movies, now looks like matters have been settled as Sir Nicholas Soames the grandson of Winston Churchill, as spoken with the website The Guardians and defends the director and the decision to use his grandfather house as Hitler headquater in the upcoming blockbuster film, this is what he had to say.
Nicholas Soames calls the fallout “a completely manufactured row” and “absolutely the most dismal, idiotic story I’ve ever read”.
“They do as all newspapers do,” said Soames.“They go until they can find some wretched veteran who is prepared to say, ‘Winston would be turning into his grave.’ They’ve no idea what my grandfather would have thought!”
Soames also calls out these that say using Nazi imagery would be disrespectul to his grandfather saying “It’s preposterous. Why can’t they make a film at Blenheim 75 years after [the war ended]? It’s absurd. That’s all I have to say; it’s pathetic.”
I say this settles this matter, because if Churchill family has no issues with his home being used as a Nazi headquaters in the upcoming movie, then people should not get angry at Bay for this, as they have his blessing and permission. Stay tuned for more news on Transformers: The Last Knight.
