When Universal’sFast & Furious 8started production earlier this summer, the sequel started a tradition known as Fast Fridays, where the filmmakers would share a special behind-the-scenes video that offers a glimpse at what scenes they shot that particular week. It seems Paramount’sTransformers: The Last Knightis starting a new tradition of their own dubbed Transformers Tuesday, where they will share a new video each week forTransformers 5.
This week’s video, which debuted on theTransformers Facebook, reveals a scene that features a number of vehicles travelling down a highway, before a massive explosion takes out three of these SUV’s, which are seen rolling end over end on this desolate stretch of road. This video also gives us brief glimpses ofMichael Bayin action, setting up this explosive scene. We don’t know where exactly in the movie this scene will take place quite yet, but hopefully we’ll get to see more in futureTransformersTuesdays videos.
The Last Knightcenters on Optimus Prime, who has been searching through the cosmos for the Quintessons, the beings believed to be responsible for the creation of theTransformersrace. Meanwhile back on Earth,Wahlberg’s Cade Yeager will be facing a new alien threat that bringsJosh Duhamel’s Lennox andTyrese Gibson’s Epps back into duty.Isabela Monerhas signed on as the female lead, though no character details have been revealed. The supporting cast also includesJerod Carmichael,Laura HaddockandAnthony Hopkins, but we don’t know much about what characters they’re playing yet.
Shooting will take place inDetroit, with various on-location shoots planned to take place throughout the world, such as Cuba.Transformers: The Last Knightis just the second major studio movie to shoot in the country since the U.S. trade embargo was lifted, following Universal’sFast & Furious 8.Michael Bayis directing from a script byIron ManwritersArt Marcum&Matt Holloway. They are joined byBlack Hawk DownwriterKen Nolanon the screenplay. The team were part of Paramount’s writer’s room that generated several ideas forTransformerssequels and spinoffs.
Paramount announced in February that they will release aBumblebee spinoff, which is set to hit theaters on July 17, 2025. This movie will tell the never before heard origin of Bumblebee, although no specifics have been given. Since it will likley take place in the past and not on planet earth, we can only imaging what the nextBumblebee upgradewill look like. Take a look at the latest video from theTransformers: The Last Knightset below, and stay tuned for more as this sequel continues production.
