Beast Wars Live Action

[Dmv Kolias]

AristRob Wiggins has posted to his ArtStation account what he is saying are Cheetor Transformers Beast Wars Early concept work, presumably for the live-action Transformers Beast Wars movie that is said to be ready for production. The CGI designs show a new take on the Beast Wars characters we know with a more ornate yet abstract look that is to be expected in a big-budget Hollywood production, but we have been here before.

Thanks for your article. I created these concepts "Ages ago" around 5 years ago in-fact. They were concepts that the Hasbro Transformers team, were pitching for Transformers 6. Ultimately, Paramount studios chose to go with the standalone Bumblebee movie, in which I also created early concepts work. Will post to ArtStation soon.

Steven talks about his first contact with the live-action movies when he was 16 years old, how he felt about the amount of action in the film, his thoughts about Beast Wars and G1, and his wish to work with Megatron in a possible sequel.

Nothing to stop Megs being featured in flashback a la Bumblebee, so even if the mucky-mucks prevent Caple from diverting from what's come before, there's still room for him to be employed as a big bad (eg Megatron setting something in motion on Cybertron in the past, and an as-yet-unused Con executing that plan in the 'present' day).

Tp be fair, monkeys in general are really funny (ignoring the meme culture around them right now that BW wasn't subject to). For the casual person, it's hard not to laugh when a guy takes the name of the stoic, morally upright face of the franchise, and he turns into a shit slinging knuckle dragger

They had to introduce robots that turn into cars for the first time to the masses in 2007. A robot turning into an ape isn't all that crazy. The audience can definitely handle a Beast Wars movie if done right. There are a variety of media out there with interesting concepts. It's silly to think the audience wouldn't be able to comprehend transforming animals.

Also, can you imagine if this argument was used for anything else? "No one would understand Captain America if he didn't appear in a movie with Iron Man prior". "No one would understand Kong if he didn't show up in a movie with Godzilla prior". If your movie is good, you don't need the help of an established movie franchise to piggy back off of.

Dig the interview. Guess we're probably only seeing Scorponok then in the film. Would love to see Steven gets to do Megatron in the next film. If Lorenzo some higher up won't allow it then hope I hope ROTB does well enough that Steven's power film control wise goes up and he can help call more of the shots (to an extent) similar I guess to ROTF after TF1.

I'm kind of of the opposite opinion. They clearly think of this movie as "Transformers 7" and not "Bumblebee 2." So I want the movie to fail enough that they abandon the continuity altogether, but not enough that they shelf the entire brand. It seems the only way to save the movies is to wait a while and reboot a second time.

The problem now is even if they could afford to bring Knight and Steinfeld back, they've already wasted 5 years. Actors age, and you can't keep telling stories about young adult Charlie Watson into her actress's 30s. We had one shot and they blew it for the next decade or so of story telling.

That's why they should have just made the Beast Wars movie into a separate thing. The sequel should have been a follow up to the war shown in Bumblebee and have Megatron arrive on Earth. The Beast Wars spin-off should have then focused on the Maximals versus Predacons dynamic. The later films can have them all come together and that would work far better as all those characters would've already been introduced and fleshed out in the prior movies. The way they did it is just half-assing both sides of the fandom. The folks who wanted a Bumblebee sequel are now getting some weird semi-sequel that doesn't follow up with the Decepticon threat shown before and the folks who wanted a Beast Wars movie are getting a small fraction of it.

On a separate note, is this the first time we've heard someone from Paramount say "Bayverse"? It has always been a term in the fandom, but I don't think I've heard anyone from Paramount explicitly mention it.

This past weekend I rewatched the Disney classic Beauty and the Beast. I had not watched it since I was probably six years old, and watching it got me so excited for the release of the live action film in March. What really blew my mind, however, is that Beauty and the Beast is a Star Wars movie.

Okay, in the strictest of senses it might not be a Star Wars film. There is no Force, lightsabers, X-Wings, etc. But the themes and ideas in both the galaxy far, far away and 18th century France are extremely similar.

There are many other things that link these films, from strong female characters to the need to build your own family to the music. One could go on for days. However the number of links is not as important as the fact that there are links, because the fact that there are links shows the brilliance of George Lucas as a storyteller.

Lucas brought together so many great themes and ideas that have been present throughout storytelling for generations. The Greeks spoke of these same ideas. Shakespeare spoke of these same ideas. Chaucer, Langston Hughes, J.K. Rowling and almost every writer and creator to ever tell stories has spoken of these same themes.

The title of Transformers 7 has been revealed as Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, confirming a live-action adaptation of the fan-favorite television series Beast Wars. Michael Bay's Transformers series launched in 2007 with Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox starring as two humans caught up in a war between the Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, and the Decepticons, led by Megatron. Although the films were never critically acclaimed, the Transformers saga amassed a following that propelled the franchise to box office success.

Four direct sequels to the original Transformers were produced, with Mark Wahlberg taking over the lead role for Age of Extinction and The Last Knight. In 2018, the Hailee Steinfeld-led Bumblebee was released, scoring the best reviews of the franchise and netting $468 million at the box office. Now, In The Heights star Anthony Ramos has been tapped to lead a revival of the franchise alongside Judas and the Black Messiah Star Dominique Fishback. Dexter actress Laura Luna Velez is also onboard as Ramos' character's mom, but, until now, details about the film remained under wraps.

Paramount has announced that the film will be titled Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. The announcement came during a press conference detailing the future of the franchise. The studio also took time to reveal that Transformers 7 has begun filming and they expect Rise of the Beasts to hit theaters sometime in 2022. The film will be set in 1994 in Brooklyn, after the events of Bumblebee, but before Michael Bay's series of films.

The original Beast Wars: Transformers cartoon ran from 1996 to 1999 for three seasons and although it was received poorly at the time, reception to it has changed over the years. Now, many see Beast Wars as one of the best Transformers adaptations. It's unlikely that Rise of the Beasts will follow the exact plot of the 1990s cartoon - seeing as the film is set in Brooklyn, it's immediately apparent that the location will be different than the one in the cartoon, which is described as a strange planet inhabited with Earth-like animals.

It certainly seems like Paramount is hoping that the integration of the Beast Wars storyline into the films will revive the franchise. The studio views the conflict between the Autobots and Decepticons as "somewhat exhausted" after several films mined it for action. Now, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will be able to switch gears while retaining parts of the live-action franchise that fans have come to know and love.
