Ikr lol actually there were two different versions of TLK released throughout the world in theaters and one version (not the US version) had a longer scene talking about Cade's love life hahaha

 

Obviously every film has cut footage.

But the "40 mins of missing scenes" rumor is UTTER BULLSHIT. Completely unfounded. Someone gave that figure as a guess and everyone decided to run with it.

 

I think it's because there were rumors flying around that the film was over 3 hours (which Michael Bay debunked on Twitter) and that's where the 40 minute number popped up.

 

Honestly, it is probably not too far off considering the amount of known aspects that we already know got cut;

1. Autobots vs Decepticons in Michigan (Massive battle scene)
2. Cogman actively using his headmaster ability (Would occur several times in the movie)
3. Autobot Chase, building falls in London
4. Lennox in a C-wagon in London
5. Megatron in France/scenes in France (We know this got past concept art)
   
6. Robert Epps cameo (Definitely filmed)
   
7. HMS Alliance being put to sea by Bumblebee
8. HMS Alliance getting up and moving into the sea
9. Submarine Transformer Transforming
   
10. Optimus: "Earth must die" extended
11. Bumblebee vs Nemesis Prime: Bumblebee runs towards Prime
12. TRF Bridge Scene in Arizona
13. The entire backstory of Optimus Prime and Megatron on Cybertron
14. Optimus exploring Cybertron before finding Quintessa
15. More involvement of the Dinobots

Those are just the one's i found via a quick search - there are tons of others where filming was witnessed and it never made it into the movie. It's worrying because a majority of these were not even individual scenes but a collection of scenes or even entire plots. There are also additional human scenes that are either featured on the special features or simply were too drawn-out.

Heck, Adam Gerstel basically acknowledged that there are SIX DIFFERENT CUTS OF EVERY SINGLE SCENE in the movie;

"Michael would give notes and say, “OK I like this version. OK, John, now you take a stab at it. OK, Mark, now you take a stab at it. Deb, you take a stab at it.” Everybody cut everything. So really, by the end of it, we had all cut every scene. There had been a version of every scene that every editor cut."

Sure most movies normally do multiple cuts to see how it looks, but considering how jarring the editing is and how rushed the final battle, i'd guess that at least a minute was cut from each scene at minimum.

Yes, the 40 minute number was likely taken from the belief this was going to be a three hour movie. Yet at the same time, it's a realistic number considering the aspects we know were cut and the editing process - which itself seemed to be Bay basically picking whichever he liked out of six edits of a scene (explaining the editing issues)

 

The funniest thing about thus thread is people expecting feted scenes when we didn't get extra scenes for the other 4 movies. We don't even have the IMAX version of RotF yet. I think it was exclusive or something idiotic like that.

 

First Live Action transformers movie I will not be buying.

 

Same here. I'll pick up a 5 pack but I'm not buying this on it's own.

I loved all the live action movies but not this one. The Last Knight wasn't even a movie, it was just a bunch of random scenes & ideas thrown together. No explanation & no continuity. Just 2 hours of random stuff jumbled together. I thought "The Last Knight" was going to be about Optimus Prime, the Dinobots & the Knights Of Cybertron as established in Age Of Extinction. Jokes on me.

 

Epps was never in the movie no cameo was ever filmed. no idea where you got your information from.

Tyrese Gibson already stated he couldn't be in the movie due to the time he was filming Fast in the furious (last one) filming. it was even stated he was hella mad about it.

Try again.

 

There has never been a legitimate reason to think there would be deleted scenes.

No such thing as "40 minutes cut from the film." The final cut is the one we saw in the theaters.

Technically, every movie has footage "cut." It's called editing.

 

You took this quote from a joke post. I suppose I should have put it in quotes since I've never once believed there to be a longer cut pf the film. Sorry, "film".

 

There might an extended cut still, but they're going to wait for you to buy this one first to sell twice as many blue rays

 

You mean they are using the Peter Jackson method.

 

Tyrese confirmed he never got to film any scenes.

 

Exactly. That, and despite *filming* things, it doesn't mean those shots ever got any post production, let alone millions of dollars worth of CGI getting worked on, rendered, completed and inserted only to be cut. Many movies end up with TONS of unused footage being thrown away or canned for use in other projects. It's common practice, and hardly unique to this one. But that is also common sense... which is seemingly not something many overly wishful fans have.

 

for example the twins in DOTM, they were filmed, but they got cut out early on, i doubt they would've wasted money doing animation for the twins.

 

With some many Bay Fan's now turning their backs on this crap, Hasbro should take note and step their game up on G1-esk lines. Like the IDW comics, Generations Toys, Video games with same quality that WFC had and give Machinima the middle finger instead of another contract.

They're going to need something to keep their core TF fan/collectors interested while TF Live action films go into hiatus once BumbleBee flops.

 

Ugh this thread and my other old thread.

 

I for one cant wait to watch this in Dubbly Anus on my forkey!

 

The UK Blu-ray is listed as only containing one disc....

What the actual heck?
