“TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT” FIRST TRAILER DROPS ON DEC 16

Michael Bay just announced that the first trailer of Transformers: The Last Knight will be shown in cinemas before watching Rogue One starting December 16. The title is no surprise since we last saw Optimus Prime in fourth movie of Transformers, Age Of Extinction, wielding a Cybertronian sword while riding on Grimlock’s T-Rex mode like in a knight in horseback on a crusade. I am wondering about the what is Optimus facing in the banner.

The press material not only reveals the details of the trailer but also announced the return of actors Josh Duhamel and John Turturro in the new movie reprising their roles as Lt. Col. William Lennox of formerly of N.E.S.T. and former Sector 7 agent Seymour Simmons. I am eager to find out what happened to them before Age Of Extinction and what story will they make in Sam Witwicky’s absence which was played by Shia LeBouf.

Mark Wahlberg is also reprising his role as Cade Yaeger. I am glad he is still part of the new movie since he is an inventor and knows how to revive a Transformer like what he did with Optimus Prime. He is much more useful to the Autobots than Sam Witwicky.

I am curious about what is Anthony Hopkins’s role in the Transformers movie universe. It is rare to cast such actor with great reputation. Stanley Tucci is also returning as Joshua Joyce which I am also curious what is he going to do in this movie. If Joyce in returning, why is Su Yueming (played by Li Bingbing in the previous movie)  not returning?

Replacing a hottie for another, this movie casts Nickelodeon’s Isabela Moner instead of Nicola Peltz. In the photo with Michael Bay, I am wondering if the damaged scooter in the middle is a Transformer.

We may or may not find out in the release of the trailer soon. For my future movie trailer reactions, follow this blog and like L.E.N.S. blogs on Facebook. View the press release here.
