"Bumblebee" - The Latest Buzz



Sneak Peek footage plus images from director Travis Knight's "Transformers" spin-off, "Bumblebee", starring Hailee Steinfeld, opening December 21, 2018:


"...on the run in the year 1987, 'Bumblebee' finds refuge in a junkyard in a small Californian beach town. 'Charlie' (Steinfeld), on the cusp of turning 18 and trying to find her place in the world, discovers Bumblebee, battle-scarred and broken. When Charlie revives him, she quickly learns this is no ordinary, yellow 'VW' bug."


Traditionally Bumblebee's car form was depicted as a yellow 'VW Beetle'...


...until director Michael Bay’s live-action "Transformers" feature (2007) converted the 'robot in disguise' into a 'Chevy Camaro'.


"It’s the story of a an 18-year-old girl," said "Bumblebee" producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura.


"She and 'Bumblebee' find each other, and they make each other whole. Bumblebee’s a very loving character.



"He’s got a lot of heart, so of course the idyllic life of these two is interrupted by the evil 'Decepticons'. And how are they going to be able to deal with the problem without 'Optimus'..."


Cast also includes John Cena, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., Rachel Crow and Pamela Adlon.
