Edit cast list for:
Bumblebee (2018)?
Trivia:
In this film, Transformers take on a more classic look of the original cartoon series. With a budget of $102-128 million, this is the least expensive Transformers movie to date. SPOILER:The discovery of the beetle is much like the ^~p_herbie~^~Herbie the Love Bug~^ movies, unveiling a sentient beetle.:SPOILER Bumblebee's alternate mode in this feature is a Volkswagen Beetle, his original mode in @%The Transformers (1984)%@. His robot design (short and compact, with horns and a faceplate) is based on his @%The Transformers (1984)%@ and @##Transformers: Animated (2007)##@ versions. It was speculated that Hasbro and Paramount were planning to reboot the Transformers film franchise in the near future, if "Bumblebee" performed well at the box office and general reception was good. This is now the case, as "Bumblebee" is the start of a new movie universe. `~14205~` was not born until nine years after the setting of the film and had to be taught how to use some typical items of the '80s era, such as how to work a Walkman, which was completely foreign to her. At one point in the film, a certain eager Sector 7 agent has some news for Agent Burns. Burns refers to him as Agent "Simmons," a younger version of `~12110~`'s character from earlier movies in the series. Bumblebee only now regains his VW Beetle vehicle mode because the company did not want the car to be associated with the action and violence the Bay movies are so infamous for. They allowed a more prominent use of the car here due to the more faithful representation of the much tamer, family-friendly G1 series. `~17830~` beat five other contenders for the director's job: `~16849~`, `~4412~`, `~Jaume Collet-Serra~`, `~Rick Famuyiwa~` and the `~Nee Brothers~`. Bumblebee is the only movie in the "Transformers" theatrical film series to have a running time under 2 hours (approximately 1 hour, 54 minutes). All previous films clocked in at well over 2 hours. Released a week after @%Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)%@ which also features `~14205~`. `~14205~` and `~17833~` previously worked together in the film @%Barely Lethal (2015)%@. `~14205~` is the latest in the line of actors/actresses who have worked with `~Joel Coen~` & `~Ethan Coen~` to have gone on to have a role in a live-action Transformers film. Others are `~12110~`, `~221~`, `~12119~`, `~1514~`, and `~6641~`. In "Bumblebee" : `~17832~` plays Memo, who has a romantic connection with Charlie, who is a friend to Bumblebee, a human-like robot. In "@%Alita: Battle Angel%@" : Jorge plays Tanji, who is a friend to Hugo, who has a romantic connection with Alita, a cyborg. SPOILER:The producers cited !~iron_giant~!~The Iron Giant (1999)~! as the main influence for the film. As can be seen when Bumblebee regains his memory and attacks the army in defense of Charlie. Bumblebees eyes glow red just like the Iron Giant and even has his arm transform into a gun in the same way and is calmed down in the same way.:SPOILER SPOILER:`~16763~`, who plays Agent Burns, was originally supposed to play a villain named "Scarface" as seen from behind-the-scenes photos from his stunt double `~Joseph Kelly~`. It is unclear what made the change but rumor has it, like wrestling, they did not want `~16763~` the heel but more the face and this would also leave `~16763~`'s role open for a sequel.:SPOILER
