“Why is Bumblebee a different car?” “Is that John Cena?” Those are questions asked by The Rock Daughters™ this morning as they checked out the trailer for Paramount Pictures’ Bumblebee before school this morning. The first Transformers spin-off to come from the Michael Bay TF Universe, Bumblebee is a much smaller film, and one rooted in the “Generation One” era of the 1980s. We see ‘Bee in his most famous form – the one kids learned to love back where it all started as a Volkswagen Beetle. But that’s not all… look closely and you’ll see that at some point he scans a Jeep Wrangler (maybe a Renegade?), and as the last Transformers film showed us, Bumblebee was at one point a military vehicle circa WWII. The designs are simpler, and there’s definitely an E.T. vibe happening as ghostly voice of the late Bernie Mac reminds us that “the car will choose the driver.” Take a look…
Bumblebee, starring Hailee Steinfeld and John Cena was Directed by Travis Knight and will hit theaters this Christmas.
