Seibertronian board admin Burn has pointed us towards some fresh news about the 2018 Bumblebee movie planned by Paramount as part of the their shared universe with Transformers - and beyond, given the the recent trends: according to Deadline, the script for the spin-off exists, written by Christina Hodson (one of the many writers in the Goldmans Writers' Room), and the studio are currently looking for a director! Find out more below, and join the discussion in the Energon Pub.
EXCLUSIVE: Paramount Pictures is getting closer to liftoff on Bumblebee, the first spinoff of its billion dollar Transformers franchise, this one based on a popular character in the series. The studio finally has a script it’s sweet on, and will shortly go out to directors. This comes after Paramount and Michael Bay assembled a “writers room” constructed of his scribes who fleshed out the Hasbro universe. A late addition to that program, Christina Hodson, is the scribe who cracked the spinoff and turned in a script that will make it possible for Paramount to mount the film for 2018. Hodson was one of three female writers (Lindsey Beer and Geneva Robertson-Dworet were the others) who joined a group of male scribes in the writers room in summer 2015, as they set out to hatch ideas to expand the mythology of the universe. The next sequel, Transformers 5, is directed by Michael Bay and scripted by Ken Nolan and Iron Man scribes Art Marcum & Matt Holloway. It hits theaters June 23, 2017, while Bumblebee has been dated for June 8, 2018.
At a time when Hollywood is looking for voices beyond the male scribes that usually dominate the action space, the emergence of Hodson as the scripter of such a large scale film is very encouraging. The scribe, half Asian and raised in London, started as a development executive. Since transitioning to screenwriting four years ago, she has quickly become a sought after scribe for muscular, female-driven stories in traditionally male-dominated genres. Hodson has the Farren Blackburn-directed thriller Shut In, with Naomi Watts and Jacob Tremblay starring for EuropaCorp and Lava Bear, and the Denise DiNovi directed erotic thriller Unforgettable, with Rosario Dawson, Katherine Heigl, and Whitney Cummings starring for Warner Bros next year.
She has hit the Black List with scripts three different times since turning to writing four years ago. One of those, her spec The Eden Project, sold in a splashy deal to Sony and Material Pictures. She has scripted a reboot of The Fugitive for Warner Bros and producer Arnold Kopelson, and is writing for Warner Bros and DC Entertainment an untitled feature set in that DC universe. Hodson is also writing a female-centric action epic for Nina Jacobson at Fox 2000, and has just cracked television, adapting the Japanese crime novel Out as a potential series for AMC. Hodson is represented by CAA, Kaplan/Perrone Ent. and Ziffren Brittenham.

So that's Bay definitely gone, then?
I wonder what's in the job description. "Must be able to fill a quota of at least 67 explosions per movie."

God, if only I had some proper experience and a good résumé, I'd hound the hell out of them to be able to do this. I've always had a strong passion for writing, and I'm constantly coming up with new ideas. I'm even working on my own Transformers continuity right now. It would be heaven for me to get to make a real story with these characters, and take this continuity down a better path. I would seriously do anything for this. Maybe if I start working on a draft...? I know it's not plausible, and likely not to happen in a million years, but man this would be amazing to do.

Ah, but this is purely a directorial role; not a writing role. In a lot of movies' cases one can be both Director and Writer - and arguably a movie can turn out better that way because it can fit that person's vision more - but in this case it's just directorial.

Fellow Seibertronian EvasionModeBumblebee has sent us a link to a new Deadline article, confirming the appointment of the director for the Paramount 2018 Bumblebee spin-off movie, which may or may not follow from the upcoming Transformers: The Last Knight movie!
The name is Travis Knight, which some of you might recognise from the excellent Laika stop-motion film Kubo and the Two Strings - but you can find out more below; give it a read, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub.

Bumblebee, the first spinoff of the Transformers franchise based on a popular character in the series, just landed as director Travis Knight, the helmer of the Oscar-nominated stop-motion animated success Kubo And The Two Strings. That film was Knight’s directing debut. Bumblebee would mark his first live-action film.
This time, Knight will be taking on a very different project, a big-budget 2018 tentpole for the studio. The screenplay, which emerged from Transformers director and Paramount’s writers room project, is from Christina Hodson. Lorenzo Di Bonaventura, Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg are producing with Hasbro’s Brian Goldner and Stephen Davis.
Knight, the son of Nike founder Phil Knight, is also president and CEO of Laika. Based out of Portland, the animation house was founded about 11 years ago and since then has created high-quality and beautifully created features including The Boxtrolls, ParaNorman and Coraline. Along with Kubo, Boxtrolls was also nominated for an Oscar.

Just so you know, the writer for this movie has only written one movie. That one movie sits at a 6% on Rotten Tomatoes. People always seem to forget that the writer is usually mostly responsible for how critically successful a movie is. Not the director.

Oh my god, 6%. If it's any consolation Hollywoo films do often get multiple writers (X men first class had like 6). It's highly likely it could get a rewrite if it's equally that bad.

Actually, by all accounts, the 1986 movie wasn't actually very good. And I'm saying this from a 2007 perspective. it had a very basic story and almost no characterization. You would be extremely lost if you watched this movie without seeing seasons one and two of The Transformers cartoon. BUT that said, it is a very fun movie and is classic cartoon movie in my eyes.
Also, if this movie is better than the rest, I may just puke. Unless they can make Bumblebee feel less... annoying.

Lino was actually not that great. It was predictable and preachy. It stretches too long and it was boring st times. Having the same director for Transformers may not be good either.

We've heard a couple of things about the 2018 Bumblebee solo project from Paramount, written by Christina Hodson and directed by Travis Knight, but it seems we finally have confirmation that the movie will indeed be a prequel story of sorts, according to Michael Bay himself. In an interview with MTV, which you can watch below, he states among other things that:
While Bumblebee may not be the sole character in the movie it might be the case that he's the only Cybertronian around. But he may also meet a character we will discover in The Last Knight, if the reports and rumours from the Super Fan footage are to be believed... Let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!
"It'll go a little younger, and it will deal more with his character and it's just about him."

Here's some buzzworthy news for a Sunday: Hasbro has applied for a new symbol with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) this past week, to be used with ' Toy action figures, toy vehicles and toy robots convertible into other visual toy forms ' and featuring the description: 'The mark consists of A stylized design of a bee.'
With 2018 bringing us the Bumblebee spin-off movie, directed by Travis Knight and written by Christina Hodson, there is sufficient ground to speculate that this symbol may indeed have something to do with the Cybertronian yellow scout. Check it out below, and let us know what you think!

Bumblebee has already had a logo for 10 years it's on his airfreshener in his car mode in the 2007 movie.
Also this would make a great unit patch marking for World War II bee too.

Also this would make a great unit patch marking for World War II bee too.

Licensing Expo 2017 is currently underway and Paramount is there to showcase their wares. They want to remind you and everyone that there is a Bumblebee solo film coming out next year and got a poster up for the occasion. It is Bumblebee's face with the words "Transformers Universe: Bumblebee" below followed by the release date of June 2018.

Fellow Seibertronian SnoopDawg has sent us a notification of a new piece up on The Hollywood Reporter - which may be entirely unfounded, so grab your salt packs - about next year's Bumblebee spinoff movie from the Paramount Transformers cinematic universe. Apparently, 20 year old True Grit cast member Hailee Steinfeld is in talks for the movie, as a 'tomboy who also holds a job as a mechanic after school'. Check out the full piece here, and an extract below!
Hailee Steinfeld is in negotiations to star in Paramount's Transformers spinoff Bumblebee.
Travis Knight, who directed the stop-motion movie Kubo and the Two Strings, is helming the project.
Bumblebee is the yellow and black striped Autobot that appears as one of the main characters in the Transformers film series.
Plot details are being kept on the dark side of the moon but it is known that Steinfeld will play a tomboy who also holds a job as a mechanic after school. Christina Hodson (Shut In) wrote the script.
The movie project is the first spinoff in what the studio hopes will be a Transformers Cinematic Universe that will include prequels and offshoots from a line of movies that have generated over $3.7 billion worldwide with the latest one, Transformers: The Last Knight, set to hit theaters June 23.

Huh. They really like their female mechanics. Kubo was good, so I have higher expectations for this one.
