With directorMichael Bay’sTransformers: The Last Knightnow playing around the world, I recently sat down with producerLorenzo di Bonaventurato talk about the making of the film. During our spoiler filled conversation he talked about what filming in IMAX 3D brought to the franchise, the most challenging part of making the film, the way technology has advanced from the first film, why they ended the film with the introduction of Unicron and what fans can expect in directorTravis Knight’sBumblebeemovie.
As most of you know from the trailers, the fifth installment expands the mythology of theTransformersuniverse by introducing a medieval-centric backstory withMark Wahlbergreprising his lead role fromTransformers: Age of Extinction. The film also starsAnthony Hopkins, Laura Haddock,Stanley Tucci,Isabela Moner,Jerrod Carmichael,John Turturro,Josh Duhamel,Isabela Moner,Gil Birmingham, andJean Dujardin.

Lorenzo di Bonaventura:
Here’s the official synopsis forTransformers: The Last Knight:
The Last Knight shatters the core myths of the Transformers franchise, and redefines what it means to be a hero. Humans and Transformers are at war, Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving our future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Saving our world falls upon the shoulders of an unlikely alliance: Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg); Bumblebee; an English Lord (Sir Anthony Hopkins); and an Oxford Professor (Laura Haddock).
There comes a moment in everyone’s life when we are called upon to make a difference. In Transformers: The Last Knight, the hunted will become heroes. Heroes will become villains. Only one world will survive: theirs, or ours.
