Paramount Pictures released a new featurette for Bumblebee today. The video stars the cast and production crew of Bumblebee talking about the film’s Generation 1 style. Bumblebee returns to the standard format of Transformers turning into cars and Autobots turning into planes. The art team also dug into the old cartoons for design cues, opting for a boxier design in a nod to the toys.
Bumblebee stars Hailee Steinfeld, Pamela Adlon, John Cena, Stephen Schneider, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., Jason Drucker, Kenneth Choi, Ricardo Hoyos, Abby Quinn, Rachel Crow, and Grace Dzienny. The film follows Charlie (Steinfeld), a young woman on the cusp of adulthood. As an 18th birthday present, she buys a yellow VW Beetle to restore. She soon discovers her junkyard find may be the key to saving the world.
Bumblebee hits cinemas on December 20th
