Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Interview: Director Reveals Big Change to Film
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- While the Michael Bay films of the Transformer franchise set a standard for outstanding visuals and VFX, they began to lose fans as the plot thinned in favor of flashy fight scenes. When Bumblebee recaptured the heart of the series, the film opened new doors for filmmakers and fans like Steven Caple Jr. (Creed II) to really flex in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. We know this prequel to Bay’s saga aims to thread the sensational action and heart more seamlessly, but in this interview with Collider’s Steve Weintraub, Caple Jr. reveals how this brand-new angle came to be, and why fans of Transformers should be securing their seats when it hits theaters on June 9.
Rise of the Beasts takes us back to the ‘90s, to a part of Optimus Prime’s (Peter Cullen) life that’s been previously untapped by the live-action films, similar to what Bumblebee did for, well, Bumblebee. According to Caple Jr., the original idea was to do a straight sequel to that movie, but because he’d just come off of another franchise’s sequel, the director declined. He was later approached again with a new offer: Paramount Pictures wanted to dig into Beast Wars: Transformers. “I know all about Beast Wars,” he tells us, and his passion for the IP is undeniable in their discussion. While “nerd-talking,” Caple Jr. goes into what he personally wanted to bring to the movie, as well as what he didn’t bring in the hopes to continue these stories into the next “phase of this project.”
In his interview, which you can watch or read below, Caple Jr. recalls which monumental moment during production the gravity of this job hit him, and shares the direction he wants to take Transformers going forward. He talks about the references to Transformers Generation One, Easter eggs for fans, and how Pete Davidson, who stars alongside Anthony Ramos, Dominique Fishback, Michelle Yeoh, and more, influenced parts of the script. We also learn that Caple Jr.’s original intro with Optimus Prime was actually much darker, why it was removed, and if we’ll get to see it in the future.

!["BAYVERSE vs REBOOT" & Wheeljacks Design | ROTB DIRECTOR STEVEN CAPLE JR Interview! [Creatorverse 8]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/1MfMFxvT_-Q/mqdefault.jpg)
I love Steven so much.
Hearing that amazing Transit scene is gone is sad.
Yea really wish they kept this in
Saturday can't come soon enough, in IMAX no less. Beast Wars was my jam Son! Those darker sequences sound freaking amazing and I'm totally here for that.
Fr
as a transformers fan, this movie was amazing. just watched it today, and the plot was good, character development was great, and action was amazing. in my honest, humble opinion, 10/10
@@TheAaronlee1996 would u see in Dolby or IMAX?
@@VincentD20 i watched in dolby today. so to me this is the biggest difference.
imax has bigger screens sure but my imax seats are always without a recliner. and if i can’t recline, sometimes it’s hard to follow along through the entire big screen since it’s bigger.
but with dolby and it’s reclined seats, it also means the screen is a little bit smaller. but from my experience, it’s usually a better time for me cause i can see the entire thing at once instead of having to follow along with everything from one side of the screen to the next.
hopefully that made sense lmao
@@TheAaronlee1996it does lol, do u happen to know if there is expanded aspect ratio for the movie? I heard that there isn't, if that's true, then what is the point of watching it in IMAX? Also, should u see a movie in IMAX that want filmed with IMAX cameras? I'm new to any format that isn't standard, which is what I see all movies in lol, up to now.
Steven indeed sounds like a fan. Looking forward to the film.
The answers we all needed. We want to see the transit battle! Sad to not see When he drops the body in the river, but im far happy With what he said!
Plz have Transit and the dead deceptions bodies as a delete scene when this movie out on blu-ray, would love to see it.
I hope he directs the movies here on out he did amazingly
Would have liked the Optimas Prime Vs Transit scene
You my friend have made an amazing movie, can’t wait to see what you bring on next
MADE ME MISS MICHAEL BAY
I feel like the ending isn’t getting talked about enough considering what they teased
Omg I can't wait to see that in the blue ray
Oh I’m gonna see this on the big screen, fo sho!!
I am so excited that Steven Caple Jr. will (hopefully) be the director of the next two movies of the trilogy. We fans are in for a treat; at last, a fan directing Transformers movies with decent stories, respect for the characters and lore, and tons of action. What else could we possibly ask for?
PD: I so want to see the Transit scene when the Blu-ray releases!
A great interview, Steven is a true fan!
can't wait for this movie
Shit!!!! They should've seriously kept that Transit scene man.
I heard a rumour Transit destroyed all the Autobot landing pods or destroyed a ship by himself bragging about it and sent a hologram message recording of himself killing Autobots begging for there lives ...To Optimus..
We need to see that scene with Transit!
This movie was Fkn awesome 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
14 years on UA-cam 😮
@@brownbearboxproductions3458 yeah I’ve been on here long time lol
That’s mental! Did you see all the stuff happen over the years like smosh and pupinia Stewart and stuff?
Who’s blud?
Now I'm wondering if the animated movie is set within the same timeline as Bumblee and Rise of the Beasts
Yeah after seeing the post credit scene, I don’t think i’m gonna love the direction where it’s going.
Edit: loved the movie though just not the post credit
Congratulations.
after the end fight with optimus and scourge i wonder how dark that transit scene was👀
Steven Caple Jr is good director I hope for him direct other projects soon 🙏👍. Or I'm thinking how about I'm thinking maybe he joins DCU maybe direct like superheroes movies I'm not sure if static shock movie is still in the cards maybe could be Steven Caple Jr just saying 👈, or whatever
That’s only a line for Prime to say to Megatron
Kid gets it
"I want to start with: congratulations on the movie. And I mean that sincerely". Weird thing to say. Why wouldn't you congratulate someone without being sincere? It's like when people say, "to be honest with you...". Oh, so you aren't typically honest? People really bug me with things like that.
I hope they include deleted Transit scene in the blu-ray.
Transformers 8 Should be a direct sequel to the last knight with Michael Bay and Mark Wahlberg returning to the franchise.
Troll
Bro is incredible at directing mid
Bubble bee dies and they are tying it with gi joe
