It’s been quite a week here at GYCO as we got to sit down with the cast and crew of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts for a series of exclusive interviews. Thanks to Paramount Pictures we spoke with long-time franchise producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, cast members Anthony Ramos, Dominique Fishback and Tobe Nwigwe and director Steven Caple Jr.
In this first interview, James and Steven discuss keeping the franchise fresh for its seventh release plus crafting the perfect Transformers villain. James also cheekily asks the director how he would go about creating his dream character for the franchise.
Watch our full interview in the player below:
Returning to the action and spectacle that have captured moviegoers around the world, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will take audiences on a ‘90s globetrotting adventure with the Autobots and introduce whole new breeds of Transformers – the Maximals, Predacons and Terrorcons – to the existing battle on earth between Autobots and Decepticons.
The upcoming sequel, directed by Steven Caple Jr, stars Anthony Ramos, Dominique Fishback, and Luna Lauren Velez. In addition to that, the legend that is Peter Cullen is back to voice the great Optimus Prime alongside Ron Perlman who will voice Optimus Primal, a transforming gorilla and leader of the Maximals.
