Travis Knight har inte gjort särskilt mycket storfilm (en, bara, och den heter Kubo och de två strängarna), trots detta har han precis skrivit på för att regissera den kommande spin off-rullen baserad på Transformers-roboten Bumblebee. Manuset skrivs just nu av Shut In-författaren Christina Hodson och vi kan naturligtvis förvänta oss gästspel av flera av de mer namnstarka robotarna från Transformers-universumet. Cinemablend skriver följande om produktionen:
"Bumblebee has been part of the Transformers movie series since it launched in 2007, serving as the most prominent Autobot behind Optimus Prime. Besides his distinctive yellow paint job, Bumblebee is best known for primarily communicating through playback of radio and television signals. For the first three Transformer movies, he effectively served as Sam Witwicky's protector, and in Transformers: Age of Extinction, he became the leader of the Autobots after Optimus Prime ventured into space. The trailer for Transformers: The Last Knight implies that Bumblebee will meet a horrible fate at Optimus Prime's hands, but obviously it's either not as bad as it looks or can be easily fixed since he's leading a movie only a year later.
The Bumblebee spinoff is slated to hit theaters on June 8, 2018, and before that, you can see Bumblebee back in action when Transformers: The Last Knight is released on June 23. Let us know what you think of Travis Knight taking the directing reins in the comments below."
