To celebrate the release of Transformers One, Paramount Pictures gave us the privilege of talking to the minds that helped bring this origin story to the big screen. As part of the London junket, we spoke to producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura and director Josh Cooley about all things Transformers, exploring Cybertron, and that powerful and iconic bond between Optimus and Megatron.
It was a fantastic little chat that really opened our eyes to the work that went into not only animating a project of this size, but also the new approach they had to take in order to fully flesh out these characters. It really allowed us to truly appreciate the film, and we hope that it does the same for you.
Synopsis:
Transformers One is the untold origin story of Optimus Prime and Megatron, better known as sworn enemies, but once were friends bonded like brothers who changed the fate of Cybertron forever. In the first-ever fully CG-animated Transformers movie, Transformers One features a star-studded voice cast, including Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, Scarlett Johansson, Keegan-Michael Key, Steve Buscemi, with Laurence Fishburne, and Jon Hamm.
