How The Bumblebee Director Plans To Be Different Than Michael Bay

 

Oh, it sounds so beautiful… let's hope it lives up to all the talk.

 

I think he always intended to be different from Bay.

Still, good to hear that this may sound like an animated film, which has a lot of heart.

 

I'm still skeptical...

 

Not when we still got Bay as a Producer...

 

Perhaps it's a good sign that we did get an article at last with the director one of the things being pushed is about it being different. Maybe, just maybe Paramount figured out they couldn't just crank out the same basic Bay Transformers movies forever and still hold a strong position on the box office charts.

Although I'm also a bit skeptical as well since it's easy to say hey we are going to be different when it's the same suits and producers that gave us the other films. If the look of the robots is the same I think it's going to take more than just one news story to really convince people this time is different after all the times we were told oh we get it this time and this time is different.

Fingers crossed because the director seems like a nice guy, but I'm not willing to bank on the movie yet.

 

That's a pretty vague way of describing filmmaking, which could describe basically any film, but sure, lets see what he does.

 

Perhaps he'll help on the action sequences

 

Sounds good, but please... don't make it in a cringey way..

 

Hmmm I don' think you know what producers do

 

No 'splosions?

 

I'e got faith in him

 

There was one

 

Maybe not as much as the previous ones

 

Eh, I wouldn't count them out completely. More likely, there will be no gross sexualization of the female lead, no racial stereotypes, little-to-no bathroom humor, and no war-mongering bloodthirsty autobots.

 

Promises, promises.......

 

Just have this expectation be entertained

 

Wouldn't Christina Hodson be offended if they sexualized the female lead

 

Yeah. And I don't think Travis Knight would direct a movie like that. He would say Nope.

 

Talk is cheap. I'll wait and see.
